Camp Virginia, Kuwait

I'm in the 327th Signal Battalion (Airborne) from Fort Bragg, North Carolina.

This time I'm actually doing my job as a radio operator. It should be boring.

Currently we are at Camp Virginia, Kuwait awaiting orders for movement into Iraq.

Camp Virginia is a support base with the absolutely WORST chowhall I've experienced in 14 years of Army service. No exaggeration. The MWR facilities are decent. AT&T makes a buttload of money here. Be advised that if you have a 500-minute AT&T prepaid card and use their phones--the card will only last for 250-minutes. If you use regular DSN lines the full 500-minutes will be realized. Caveat emptor!

The PX is tiny. Don't expect to get much until you head north.

We should be moving into Iraq soon. More to follow.
