Will write more later but am on the ground, in the Green Zone, in Baghdad. Interesting ride from the airport in the armored vehicle with the two PSD's, wearing a vest with trauma plates, driving 90kmh the whole way.
Anyway, I'm in "the camp" where my employer has some trailers surrounded by sand bags inside a big concrete wall. I'll be working here and not the palace as I was originally told.
I went to the CPA (Coallition Provisional Authority) and got my CPA badge, so I can go eat in the mess hall now -- it's set up in the palace's main dining area. Marines are everywhere, armored Humvees, an occasional tank ... kind of a wild place.
