Happy 4th of July Keflavik!
I hope you all had a wonderful holiday. There were festivities here at the palace but I laid low. I've had the Baghdad crud for three days and so far the antibiotics haven't done much. I think it has to do with them taking away our beer priveledged with the disestablishment of CPA. Seems like all I eat anymore is coffee, water, watermelon, potato salad and chicken. Perhaps the nutrients aren't there.
Last week the turnover was very smooth. I've been posting updates lately on a new web site (a blog for KB) at www.billycargo.blogspot.com where you can read about my varying roles and activities during the process...prepare to be blown away.
Two days ago we stood up ASG officially, spear headed by COL D., USMC. A couple of generals and AMB Negraponte spoke at the event. With state dept taking over I've noticed things are a little more political around here. Last night many State Dept personnel were at the pool wearing burnt orange caps with

sewn on them. From their shape and color I thought they were a gift from GAP to personnel stationed over seas until it clicked, oh yeah. They also handed out letters from people in the United States. Mine was from a girl who I assume was in high school. It was written on snowman stationery and she kept saying I'm sorry you can't be home for the holidays which I took to be a bad omen.
At the end of this month I'll officially start my countdown. 01 Aug is hump day...90 days out.
V/r,
Billy
