Interestingly enough, there was a downpour last night which, combined with the constant moving of our vehicles, left most of the parking lots around our living areas in a muddy mess. Good news is that things don't take that long to dry here. Bad news is at least every other night or morning it rains again. Apparently, some areas of Iraq can have quite a crazy rainy season, as this place right now reminds me of what I expect Seattle, WA to be like this time of year.
In other news, a guy to the supply room to have his weapon fixed. You see, his M4 didn't work quite the way it used to before he DROPPED THE THING OFF THE SIDE OF A GUARD TOWER. The rifle had to be turned into the post arms room for repair, and which led to me having to explain what would cause an M4 to be either bent or cracked in seven different places. While it is now repaired for about 2 days now, everyone including me, my supply sergeant, the armorers at the post arms room and the soldier assigned to the weapon all neglected to notice that there was a part not put back on when it was repaired... Back to the arms room tomorrow...
