army regs and lost sources of supply

A busy time. I’ve been writing policy getting the Property Book Accountability stuff online. I hear this is a Rumsfield interest item…I suppose it is. Its multi, many many millions of dollars worth of equipment. With my Navy background wading thru all these Army regs to figure out policy can be somewhat mind boggling.
This morning I was over at KBR talking with their reps about this Property Book business. We were standing outside shooting the breeze when the mortars starts coming in with their little “whip, thump boom” sound. There were three or four, maybe five. I hadn’t heard that sound in a few days. I suppose B. who is retired from the Army is immune to concern over mortar rounds. We saw the black smoke about 1500 meters away and all he could say was, “Uh oh, looks like they might have hit the beer store.” I hope not. The restaurant they were building there should be open soon.
Still battling the Baghdad crud and the antibiotics aren’t making any ground. Someone said I probably have allergies to stuff in the dust. There is no shortage of dust in Baghdad. I’ve thought of wearing a bandana around my nose and mouth like an outlaw…
