To The Editor:
Well we have finally settled in at our new home. Kirkuk, Iraq is where we are stationed, that’s about 60 miles from Iran and 200 miles from Turkey. The city of Kirkuk is just outside the gates.
Our base is a joint operations post of mostly Army and Air Force troops. Other allied forces are on post as well. Together we make up at total of a few thousand. Our fire department consist of Air National Guardsmen from all over the United States and we now operate all three stations here on base.
The weather has been cold for the most part and it has been raining about every other day. Morale is high on base and everyone is eager to do our job and get home. I’ll try to get some pictures to you next time. Hope all is well with you and yours.
Sincerely,
SRA Chris See
