It's been a while since my last post and I'll try to fill you in real quick like because I don't have much time on the internet. Our wireless in our platoon house suffered an electrical malfunction and we've been without ever since.
Things are happening fairly quick these days. Bases are expanding and preparation has begun for the change over later this spring. Serialized kit checks are an ongoing matter and our kit has begun to thin out. This is not a problem as the winter kit we had is definitely a thing of the past. I'm not sure how hot it gets but I am sweating while I sit here and type these words. I think its around mid 30's early 40's.
The guys are doing fine and still working hard as ever. Early this morning we finished a 800m long type 1 concertina fence and over the past 5 days have laid the equivalent in Hesco Bastian.
the fence was quite the job and ole Hawk opted to work throught he night last night to stay out of the heat. This was an excellent idea, 1 because no one would bother us, and 2 the nights are significantly cooler. We were covered in dirt by the end of it all and exhausted. Blencowe of all people jumped into the shower after it was all said and done. He was covered the most in moon dust and it looked like he had been dragged behind the LAV by his ankles with his face in the sand. Anyway, I apologize, I gotta keep this short and get going. Hopefully we get this internet problem fixed up and I can frequent my blog more often..... I love you guys and we'll see you soon!..........out

Glad you guys are making progress. Keep up the good work. I am glad to hear you are using the cooler nights to your advantage. I am sure it makes for longer days, but at least you don't have to deal with the intense heat.
