1. Looks like there's a possibility that they'll be on the move again - closer to Iraq.
2. Spent yesterday building 3-man latrines at the base camp (Camp Chesty).
3. Some were sent yesterday to a Navy field hospital to serve as litter bearers for the incoming wounded. One of the patients was a 7-year old girl who's family ran a roadblock and their car was shot up. The little girl was the only survivor.
4. Had another mail call - two days in a row, which is unheard of!!
5. Had makeshift shower facilities which allowed some of them to get their first shower since entering Iraq on March 23rd. Sgt. Ryan Jones said that he felt "almost human again."
That's it for today's update from Engineer Company B - Echo Company - stationed about 50 miles south of Baghdad.
