Qatari Interlude

The workload with MNSTC-I can be overbearing. Since my arrival on 17 February, I worked every day through 4 June--12 hours most days, generally 80+ hours per week. There isn't much to do in Baghdad, so we don't complain.

The military does their best to maintain our sanity. I've just returned to Baghdad after participating in my mid-tour "4-day pass", which involves a trip back to Qatar to spend some time at the R&R facilities at Camp As Sayliyah. Photography was prohibited in some places and discouraged in others, but I'll try to discuss some of the more pertinent and interesting parts of my trip within the next few posts.
