Grill-n-chill......sandbox style!

Well, we had a grill out for lunch

the other day. It was a good time, and the food was

awesome. We grilled up some burgers, hot dogs, and chicken. Add some macaroni salad from the DFAC, and we had quite an adequate picnic. So rest assured, my fellow grill masters, I can still find a way to grill-n-chill....sandbox style!!!

Cold one for the road?

Pepsi anyone?

Hello

Hey everybody,

Well, it's been a while since I posted last, so I thought I'd better get one in. We have had some unusual weather. We had a couple thunderstorms, and we also have had a couple of sand storms (see picture). Things are going well otherwise. Life in the desert is definitely heating up. It was 100 degrees today, and last week we saw 106! I will post the really high temps as we see them. Well, believe it or not, I'm short on what to say! I will sign off for now.

Denominational Diversity

Good Evening (Morning for those of you in the good ol' USA) and happy Easter once again! I had the privilege of making it to the Protestant sunrise Easter service this morning, and I remembered what I like the most about the Military chapel services.......denominational diversity! I went with a hand full of my fellow Customs Battalion Sailors, and we worshiped with about 500 other Christians. The congregation was filled with Baptists, Methodists, Church of Christ, Assembly of God, and Lutherans (just from the customs crowd). Further more, I saw members of all 4 services and the Coast Guard, and of every imaginable race (including Middle Eastern) all happily sitting together to celebrate the same risen Lord! I just thought that it was cool experience worth sharing.

I'll talk to you soon,
Zimm

Happy Easter!

Happy Easter to each and every one of you!! I pray that you all have a great celebration!

Christ is risen!

Update

Hey Folks,

Just a little update. As you may or may not have heard, our battalion made the big move, and we are now in Kuwait. It is hot and sandy here, but otherwise fine. I am knee deep in the customs thing, and can't wait to leave!

You all take care, and see you soon!
