Perhaps we should e-mail teddy a copy of this:
February 4, 2005 An Update on Chris from Ken Herrera: Hello, I’ve learned more about the place Chris will be stationed in Iraq. It’s on the southeastern side of Baghdad near an airfield that was once known as the Rashid air base. It was the largest military base in Iraq before the war. Chris’ base, known as Forward Operating Base Rustimyah, is on the grounds of what was once Iraq’s version of “West Point”. It is about as safe as anyplace can be these days in Iraq but does come under very occasional mortar fire and there was one attempt to penetrate the grounds by a car bomber this past summer. That attempt failed thanks to Iraqi security forces, several of whom gave their lives protecting the American soldiers inside. FOB Rustimyah was also formerly known as Camp Muleskinner and Camp Cuervo, named after a U.S. soldier who died in Iraq. Anyone interested in more information on this base can do a Google search for Camp Cuervo and you’ll find lots of stuff. Thank you again for your interest, and oh, one other thing, Chris will have Internet access at FOB Rustimyah, so he’ll soon be checking in almost daily. Monday I’ll update you on other details of his deployment that I prefer not to talk about until that time.
Details details details. Teddy can't be bothered with little details like that.
