Safe in Kuwait...

I just heard from Greg and after about a day of travel, he's arrived in Kuwait for "inprocessing." He sounds good and his typical upbeat self ... "they say it's 105, but it doesn't feel a degree over 104" and was enjoying an iced Starbucks coffee. He said that it's like no place he's ever been before, and feels like being in the middle of the sea (i.e. nothing around), yet he's surrounded by desert. HOT, DRY desert. He reiterated the description of sticking your head in a hot oven and said he misses humidity, hmmmmm. Interesting!?!

They are sleeping in tents with air conditioning and their schedule doesn't seem too demanding, which may lead to some boredom. He certainly was excited to get a good night's sleep before tomorrow's day of briefs.

Hopefully he'll be able to figure out the best way to call home and use the internet in some of his downtime. I've shared with him the many kind words you've shared and he's grateful for your thoughts and prayers.

We're hoping Lil'r M continues to enjoy her "tank" until Greg settles in Afghanistan as now it may be tricky to communicate with him!

Will continue to update as I learn more...
