Man, this place is a desert. Just sand. Everywhere. You really can't appreciate it from pictures, because they only show one direction. It's weird to be able to spin completely around and see only sand all the way to the horizon. It's great at night though, since there's absolutely nothing around you can see all the stars perfectly clear.

 

Here's a story. We flew from Kuwait to Iraq in an Air Force C-130 cargo plane. While we were sitting waiting for takeoff, the crew chief said something about how she should make brownies. We were pretty surprised and asked if there was a microwave on the plane. She said, and I quote, "No, only an oven." Sure enough, there was a fucking oven on the plane. Yes, on the plane. We were shocked to say the least. Now I wanna know if the Marine version has an oven. We definitely doubt it though, the Marines only buy the base version of everything.
