The NTC rotation was horrible, and I’m not even really going to talk about it because that’ll just piss me off. I did take some photos while I was there, with my trusty point and shoot Canon S410. Only 4MP, so I won’t be getting any huge prints out of the little camera, but it does a good job if I do a good job. My Canon Digital Rebel XT will be staying in hands I trust back in Houston while I’m gone. There is no sense destroying perfectly good equipment, so I’ll be leaving the XT here, and taking the S410 to Iraq again.

My NTC rotation ended with me flying home to spend time with my Uncle Paul, who has fought cancer hard for the last two years. It appears that there is nothing left to do medically that can save his life, but despite that he has remained positive and strong. To say I admire his strength and courage through this entire ordeal would be the greatest understatement of all time. Anyone that reads this, religious or not, I ask that you pray for him and the rest of my family.
