How the other half lives

It was country come to town this past week. I spent the past week in Balad, just south of where I am located. Balad is home to a much bigger base here in the desert, and this base makes my little COB look pathetic. I actually swam in a swimming pool.....a very nice pool. We don't have a pool in Columbia,SC this nice. I went into a movie theatre, I went into a PX bigger than the one at Fort Jackson, and I had Krispy Kreme donuts.....wow
