<P><B>Believe it or not, we actually are having rain today!! What a surprise here in the desert!!</B></P>
<P><STRONG>I will not be moving for at least a week -today we cleaned our tent (look like a large circus tent) of sand!! </STRONG></P>
<P><STRONG>We are encouraged to dring at least 2 - 3 quarts of water each day. I bought a Camelback, which holds 2 liters, that I wear on my back. </STRONG></P>
<P>After I send this I will go back to the tent, clean my M16, and get some rest. We have nothing else to do today until 6pm.</P>

<P></P>> Brad, thank you so much for your updates. Please keep ‘me coming. <BR>> <BR>> Christine Gray <BR>> <BR>> -----Original Message----- <BR>> From: Chat-admin@charlesvillage.info <BR>> [Chat-admin@charlesvillage.info]On Behalf Of <BR>> william.schlegel@us.army.mil <BR>> Sent: Monday, March 24, 2003 8:43 AM <BR>> To: AKO Address <BR>> Subject: [Chat] Status Update from Kuwait <BR>> <BR>> I am finally here in the sandbox. We are now in a holding camp <BR>> south of <BR>> Kuwait City. We got here about 10:30pm last night. We had to <BR>> assemble Army <BR>> cots and set up our sleeping areas. It was cold! I tried to take <BR>> a shower <BR>> at 2:15am, but the showers were already out of water. The tents <BR>> hold about <BR>> 80 people and have plywood floors. The sand is really dusty and my <BR>> allergies are kicking in. Today we find out more about where we <BR>> will be <BR>
> working. We will probably move several more times. <BR>> <BR>> I had a good breakfast this morning and am now using a laptop that <BR>> a nice <BR>> person let me borrow. <BR>> <BR>> Brad <BR> </BODY>
