<p>I’ve been busy this week with a special project improving habitability on camp Ramadi by utilizing wasted space.  It’s taken all my skill as a planner to design this and gather materials.</p>

<p>Actually the habitat being improved is mine. I’ve been working on making the container unit a little more livable using material that was abandoned by units leaving the country (Including a 21” TV).</p>

<p>It’s amazing what you can find if you expand your definition of “abandoned by the dumpster” out about 100 meters or so.</p>

<p>Other than that, good week, went to the range and got to shoot until I was tired of it, and went out to visit the Farmer’s Union .  These guys are pretty much like farmer’s the world over.</p>

<p>I’ll put some actual thoughts on paper once I get my head around what we are trying to do.</p>

<p>Anyway…behold your tax dollars at work.</p>

<p>JimC is *especially* going to approve of the "After."  As we all well know - modern warfare, most lavishly equipped military in the world or not... the scavenger gene resides in *all* of Uncle Sam's soldiery, perhaps most especially the ones that float to work. - the Armorer</p>]]>

        Looks pretty good. Just remember to not sit up quickly while in the rack...

Been there, done that!

Not to mention you can&apos;t go wrong with clean and neat compared to sleeping in a bombed out concrete crud hole.  

Yes?  Yes.
