this is from my brother, a USF C130 pilot.
Thanks for the note. It's always great to hear from home. Especially when
it's from family. I sure do miss you all and can't wait to get back to the
good ole USA. It's hot here. I mean Africa hot, or should I say Arabia
hot. Actually, I'm in the UAE (United Arab Emirates) at Minhad Air Base
which is near Dubai. It's a step up from where we were. We actually have a
real dining facility that serves real food. We had grilled streaks last
night. Not quite as good as home but still a big improvement from what we
were eating. Still living in tents w/ about 9 other guys. Just like a big
camping trip except I would never choose to camp any where near here.
Gotta run for now.
Love ya bro,
Scott
