Finally Arrived

This is mom (Lorna) writing this blog. Dad has finally arrived at Camp Loyalty from Bahgdad. He seems very upbeat about his base and the people he works with. The food is still great. Somebody takes his laundry, does it and gets it back to him in one evening - he didn't even get service that quick at home!
He is one of eight firefighters on this base (2 officers and 6 others). He sleeps on the fourth floor of one of Saddam Insane's former palaces. He feels quite safe.
One of the highlights of his trip thus far was his "black hawk" ride from Bahgdad to his base. He thought that was pretty cool. He says the things he does there as a firefighter are fairly similar to firefighting routines here in the states.
Dad says he will try to get to this blog and do some things himself but he also seems to be keeping busy since he arrived at camp, so, until he does I will do my best to keep you up to date.
