Maybe I should have said that I am studying to become an airplane mechanic. I don't do any flying yet. But some day soon I hope to go up and see what the whole camp looks like from up there. So far we haven't had any dust storms here and I hope that we never do. From what I saw coming up here by truck convoy, some places the sand was drifted over the highway, like the snow drifts we have up there in the winter time. But we are having plenty of hot weather here to make up for dust. We also have plenty of jack rabbits and coyotes here too. I had the pleasure of seeing one one night while on guard.
