The 27th of December was a blur; I don't even know when it came or went. I left the United States around 6:20pm and flew to Bangor, Maine. From there we flew to somewhere in Germany, and then, finally, ended up in Kuwait. Cold, exhausted, and hungry pretty much described my status upon arrival.
I hadn't been in Kuwait for more than 10 hours when our little base was attacked by mortars. It was very strange, almost movie like. The sound was enormous, enough to blast you right out of bed.
I don't know when I will be moving on to Afghanistan; a part of me wants to go and get it all started. But for now I eat all the McDonald's I can (yeah, I found one) and watch movies and use the Internet, because I don't know if we will have any of this where I'm going.
My head is spinning, the jet lag is nuts.
I am anxious to move on. But that's it for now. There is nothing else to report.
By the way, I want to know who all is reading this. So, if you could, please click "comments" (it's at the bottom of every post) and say something. It can be "Hey, I READ THIS!!!" for all I care. I want to hear from people.
Alright, take care. I will write again when I can.
Cheers,
J

Jeremy,
It is Friday morning at 11:13 am and I just read your post. It means so much to be able to hear something from you. I wish they would keep the mortars to themselves. They are messing with my son and I don't like it. Everyone here is ok but thinking of you all the time. Hope to hear from you again real soon. Take care of yourself and be safe. We are all sooooo PROUD of you.
Love you with all my heart,
Mom

Jeremy,
We're all praying for you to be safe. I really like reading your blog it shows all the feelings that soldiers have when they are away from their families and in unknown areas. It also lets us know that you're ok. Hang in there and keep writing when you can.
We're all so proud of you!

Was so glad to hear from you and that you are okay. Mom printed off what you had posted for me. I was reading it and looked out the window and my flag was waving in the wind. That flag represent what you are doing for us and our country. We all are so proud of you. Sometimes we take our freedom for granted. Its a big sacrifice what you are doing for us. We love you for that. Please take care of yourself, be safe and we love you with all our hearts. Hope to hear from you soon.
Much Love
Grandma

Barb and I have read and thoroughly enjoyed all of your blogs, starting with Nov. 9, 2007.
It is like reading a novel. Your training in journalism has made it possible for us to look forward to your next chapter. Please keep them coming.
