Luke-er Duke-er
Here's a picture of Luke showing Katy how to play pool this summer when we went camping.
He has been sending me some pretty funny e-mails from Iraq and I thought I'd post them.
He arrived there a couple days ago: His emails are in italics:
Just got to Iraq last night. It's pretty cool here. Two people in a room. Chow hall is really good. It's got a baskin robbins inside that is also free. Flew in a C-130 from kuwait. It's a lot different from a civillian airplane. The Plane was from wyoming air national gaurd. They told me to pull four pins by my seat when we crossed over the border into Iraq. I still have know idea what they did. I'll be trying to figure that out for years. Other people beside me were asking what they did and I came up with several different stories. I don't know if they actually beleived me or not. The seats were like red netting. A couple of people got sick. As soon as the plane landed somebody sprinted to the porta jon and puked their guts out for like ten minutes. It was hilarious. I didn't get sick, but the plane does fly a little more erratic than a civilian plane. We hear sirens about twice a day which means there was a mortar or rocket attack. Never anywhere close. I've only been here one day and I guess one hit last night, but I didn't even wake up.
Then I sent him an e-mail asking if he was the only person that had to pull the pins. I also mentioned our Halloween plans. Here's what he wrote.
I was the only one that had to pull pins. Dressed up like a soldier for Holloween. No candy.
Isn't he hilarious?
