Computer Died

"Last night after downloading my photographs and the writing my daily entry, my laptop computer started experiencing problems. The screen started changing colors and then I started getting streaks across it. Using my limited computer knowledge, I tried to fix the problem and only made it worse. Now I am unable to neither start my system nor repair it using the available repair software. So I am using a temporary work around until a permanent solution can be found. I was hoping the laptop would last for 4 more months and if I kept applying duct tape to it, it would hold together and function properly.

Yesterday my team went on a logistics mission with our ANA counterparts. We picked up 4 seven ton loads for our ANA soldiers deployed to the field. They are sleeping in tents or b-huts and the lumber is their only means of heat. While there we also picked up our Air Force fire retardant uniforms. We have been trying to get these since arriving in country (8 months) and have grown accustomed to wearing the Army uniforms."
