New Personnel and Photo Opportunity

This week was a little more interesting than I thought it would be. We have several new people that have arrived recently. They come from various backgrounds of military service and also from several different locals from around the United States. It is nice getting to meet the new personnel and to learn what they do for work when not hanging out in Baghdad. I will try to elaborate more in a later post. It has been a good that we are keeping very busy. This helps keep our focus away from the time we are spending here. To help that out, we have a couple of joke-sters in the group who take every opportunity to play jokes or to send out funny emails to everyone.

We had a dust storm today which limited some visibility, but made for a nice overcast day for photography! So that is what I did. I was able to visit a very unique building. I visited an Iraqi Baath Party Headquarters building. At one time it was a very nice and highly visited building. Now, you can see below you can see the destruction and aftermath:
