katiebear21 0 #1 February 4, 2003 in Kuwait!!! It was actually an enjoyable trip. The Delta flight attendants were especially hospitable (and it wasn't just because we were all strapped!) and the layover in Italy was just beautiful! I have had every shot you can think of to include my 7th Anthrax shot and will get my Smallpox tomorrow! I even had my first battle wound. My left finger got caught in the slide of my M9 when someone reached across me as I was releasing my slide. It took out a chuck down to the bone about the size of a large eraser and bled like a stuck pig! Oh well, scars are cool!!! For those of you into snail mail (hint, hint, videos, hint, hint) here's my address: CPT Katie J. Sell 335th TSC FWD APO AE 09889 I've taken quite a few pictures and will try to post when I get a chance. Love and miss you guys dearly!

wmw999 2,589 #4 February 4, 2003 Glad to see you alive and posting. Keep us updated, and stay safe, lady. ttfn WendyThere is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it.

skydiverbrian 0 #24 February 5, 2003 Thanks to you and everyone else who's having to deal with this mess. Especially you who are so close to it all. If you get lonely, remember that we're thinking of you fondly. Take a look at those stars in the sky and know we're looking up too thinking about you. Now, get out there and start flashing boobies to those crazy camel-riding arabs. That'll get them on our side!
