Arizona

Well, I've been in Tempe for a couple of days now. So, you must be wondering why I haven't posted anything yet. Well, when it came time to take my laptop out of its bag to pass through security at the airport I used my college education to quickly discover that I had left my laptop at home. Oh well, sitting on the shared machine in the lobby isn't all that bad.

We are out here learning how to operate some equipment to take out to White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico. I think I have a good idea of what it takes and that I am going to get really bored while I'm out there. I did get to drive my first HMMWV yesterday so thats pretty cool.

The landscape out here is very different. The ground is really flat but we are surrounded by mountains. There is no grass, just dust and rocks everywhere. I took some pictures but haven't uploaded them to a PC yet so you can't see them. I'm going to climb one of the mountains today (a small one) so maybe I can get some good shots of that.

Got to run. Be home is a few days.
