Still Alive | Desert Odyssey II
http://desertodyssey.blogspot.com/2012/08/still-alive.html
The phoenix hope, can wing her way through the desert skies, and still defying fortune's spite; revive from ashes and rise.”. Monday, August 13, 2012. Don't worry, I'm still here. To bring my meager seven observers up to date, I have a very good reason why I haven't posted on here since I showed up. Because nothing happens here. The simple fact of the matter is that that hasnt happened here. But I haven't been inspired. Sorry, I know thats a weak excuse. But it's the truth. The fact of the matter is that...

The phoenix hope, can wing her way through the desert skies, and still defying fortune's spite; revive from ashes and rise.”. Monday, January 16, 2012. On the Eve of Greatness. On the Eve of Greatness, how do you feel? Do you feel empowered, just, and prepared? Or do you feel weak, lost, and hopeless? On the Eve of Greatness, how did those who have achieved felt? Did they feel "I have done enough, it is time to move on" or did they say "My time has not yet come- I am ready for more.". Links to this post.

The phoenix hope, can wing her way through the desert skies, and still defying fortune's spite; revive from ashes and rise.”. Wednesday, May 30, 2012. Back to the Airport. After getting our weapons issued we headed back to the airport side of Baghdad on the help once more. This time they had the windows wide open due to the heat level reaching 108 degrees today. Posted by Chris Lachance. Links to this post. Tuesday, May 29, 2012. Helicopter ride to the Embassy. It is very difficult to describe- both beau...

Baghdad | Desert Odyssey II
http://desertodyssey.blogspot.com/2012/05/baghdad.html
The phoenix hope, can wing her way through the desert skies, and still defying fortune's spite; revive from ashes and rise.”. Monday, May 28, 2012. The heat was there, but as in Kuwait it is bearable. Now granted, this is not summer and the heat has not reached 130 degrees. But even more so, we are definitely in the desert as there is not a spot of green to be seen. My room is much like it was in Kuwait- a sparse trailer with a bed, a refrigerator with water, and not much else. The difference between...

April 2012 | Desert Odyssey II
http://desertodyssey.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html
The phoenix hope, can wing her way through the desert skies, and still defying fortune's spite; revive from ashes and rise.”. Sunday, April 15, 2012. Beyond all of that- it was fun. But what I grasped the most from CAST was that I left with an abundant awareness that I was going into a combat zone, and I need to get into the mindset that I was doing so- something I had not done yet.

The phoenix hope, can wing her way through the desert skies, and still defying fortune's spite; revive from ashes and rise.”. Wednesday, August 22, 2012. Understand that a lot of what I deal with on a daily basis is classified, so I have to be intentionally vague quite a bit. In some cases it's understandable, but in most it's really not. Like " come on. I KNOW that's not classified" info that would make great writing but just can't be put on here. So, for the last 72 hours, I have been having extensive ...

The phoenix hope, can wing her way through the desert skies, and still defying fortune's spite; revive from ashes and rise.”. Sunday, June 3, 2012. Life in the Refrigerator. Wake at 0430 without an alarm. Check email if the internet is working. Wander aimlessly around the compound, maybe stopping at the office where I just get in the way. Chat with SW, since the internet is so slow Skype is sketchy. Posted by Chris Lachance. 04 June, 2012 07:48. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Life in the Refrigerator.

Embassy | Desert Odyssey II
http://desertodyssey.blogspot.com/2012/05/embassy.html
The phoenix hope, can wing her way through the desert skies, and still defying fortune's spite; revive from ashes and rise.”. Tuesday, May 29, 2012. Awoke this morning to darkness once again. My clock still has not caught up. Each night I wake up earlier- today I was up at 0230. It is actually working out well- you'd be amazed at what you can get done before 8 AM. Helicopter ride to the Embassy. Helicopter ride to the Embassy. The HQ building is awe-inspiring. Beyond its size, it is made of unpolishe...
