Firsrt day in Kuwait

Hey,
Well this brings about the end of the first full day in Kuwait. I know that by the time that you are reading this the first full day will have been over for quite a bit of time, but I am doing my best to keep up so that when I do post these it won’t be 1 huge long post that will be horrible to read. Yesterday we traveled here by dc-10 that is a huge airplane and it was just about full. We had 2 stops between here and when we took off. The first was in banger maine and the second was in Shannon Ireland. The first leg of the trip was the shortest only around 3 hours or so. The second one was about 6 hours and the third closer to 8. It was weird because we left about noon on Saturday and didn’t get here until about 5 pm on Sunday, and after that we still had a 2 hour bus ride from the airport in Kuwait city to Udairi Kuwait. We are staying in a 50 man tent with all of the males from alpha company. The weather here is sunny and hot. The sun comes up around 5 or 6 here… really early, and it sets really early too… around 7 or so. During the day the temperature gets up to 130 as a high (which it was today) and it drops to about 90-95 at night. When they talk about it being a dry heat you really know the difference once you have felt the temperatures here. When we were in Oklahoma, it was very humid and it only got up to about 100 there, but it felt hotter there and it was more physically draining there because you sweated a lot more. Here there is no moisture in the air so there is almost no humidity so it is really hot, but it isn’t any worse than being in Oklahoma. The base is pretty nice there are 3 different chow halls and 4 meals a day if you want to eat them. We had today to acclimate to the weather and tomorrow we will start some sort of training I think that it is just going to be classroom type stuff. Oh and by the way… everything over here is airconditioned so unless you have to spend the whole day outside you don’t get too hot overall. Well, I am going to get some sleep.
Hope that everyone at home is doing well, and keeping safe
