Got a new mattress the other day. If the government paid more than $25 for it they got taken. It is hard as a board but collapses like a deck of cards if you sit on the edge. Then you find yourself sitting on the floor. Luckily I am on the bottom bunk. Some of the guys have fallen out of bed when they roll over in the night. However, this mattress is an improvement over the one I got rid of. You would sink into it and you could feel the metal springs on your back. Needless to say I have had back aches since I have been here.
Yhe weather is heating up here. Ninety-Nine degrees yesterday. Still beats the 115s in Kuwait.
I am in my 4th week here and am still in temporary housing. They have an influx of people here in Afghanistan and we have very little leaving. So they put people up where they can. They have taken over the library and the MWR movie room to house new people. So I guess I should be glad I'm not sleeping on the floor or in an un-air conditioned tent. Augh the pleasures of life!!!!!
