I haven't seen one the whole time I have been here.. I'm disappointed.

Then again it's probably too cold out.

I've caught plenty of them before the last time I was here. There was a guy that was a little bitch when it came to them. Oh yea we messed with him.

One thing in the Fire Dept, never show a weakness cause you will probably end up going to therapy to get over it by the time we get done..lol

Yea, I'll be home soon. We had a hit earlier, I heard it fly in over the tent and explode when it hit. I've been over here a few times, I knew exactly what it was when it flew overhead and went for my armor as soon as I heard it. Then got ready to go out and went out around the base looking for fires.

No one got killed.

Camel spiders, those things are huge. I saw a baby the size of my fist. A baby. I was like damn that's a big bitch. I told him to keep his distance, I have bullets. He did, we got along, end of story.

So are we at about 2 weeks out now?
