Im gonna say it now... Pirate flags are cool! I enjoy finding different flags and learning about them and the pirates that flew them. However, my favorite pirate flag is the flag that Blackbeard flew. The biggest reason I like it is because of esprit de corps. It is our flag... the thing that represents our company best. I got one the other day and we are going to be flying it as soon as we can find the parts to securely secure it to its impromptu flag pole outside the guys barracks. I cant wait to see it fly again.
Texas, or at least the part I'm in, is horrendously dusty. You ride in the back of a humvee, when you get out, you are tinted gray and your mouth is gritty. Great clouds of the stuff come up whenever there is a good gust of wind, or a helicopter takes off from the landing pads. We love it when it rains here because it keeps the dust down for a few days. I guess I will have to get over it. I just don't want to.
I do have some good news! The next post I make on this blog will be from home, because I have a four day pass. I'm looking forward to some time with my family and friends. (insert enthusiastic pirate sound)
