okay for me, my job there keeps me inside the camps, and indoors from the nasty weather. the only real threat are the occasional mortars fired inbound on us. internet access provided by the military, it works --- but to use IM, skype, youtube, etc we have go to internet cafes provided by iraqi ISPs---they suckmassive c4m3l4nus for the prices they charge
would rather not be here overall. but, i signed up (before 9/11), so i here i am.
