First, a typical AJ vista. To answer the question "Does it all look that barren?" the answer is, "Unfortunately, yes."



This is my end of the Pod City:



Finally, this is my room, which is now much improved:

It freaks me out that soldiers are living in little boxes that it looks like soviets built.

CPT complains that she lives in a steel box, but I love my room. For one thing it's *mine*. Other people have to double up or live in open bays, which is what we were told to expect, but we have actual privacy and I am very happy about that.

It looks like my old dorm room. Which used to be a mental hospital.

They don't call you a desert mother for nothing!

I think their caves were far less luxurious, though.

Very familar looking skyline indeed.....

Everyone kept asking me if the Middle East looked like home, because you know, all of Texas looks like a bloody Clint Eastwood movie.

Kuwait and Iraq where the second flattest places I'd ever been. The first is Bismark, ND.

I'm actually surprised that you guys have your own little rooms.

The rug you bought is nice.

We were shocked to get our own rooms. It's because we're here for so long. We have one Air Force commander now who will leave in late August. We will then get another Air Force commander who will leave in April...and we'll still be here.

Since our current AF commander has his own room, he felt it was only fair we do too.

Nice rug!

Does anyone actually sit on the picnic bench? :)

[kishiriadgr.livejournal.com]

they do at night. People go outside with their laptops and/or they smoke there.

Poor little Weber grill looks lonely out there.

Your pod looks downright cozy now though :)

I love the rug, too.

Thanks for sharing!

Your room looks cozy. We had some pods, but it was only for "important people" who worked in the building/complex of doom I had to work in. All of them (unless they were actually important and they lived in a different area within the building itself) had to share rooms, though.

I was a peon and had to walk to work from a B-hut, also known as a giant, wooden shed crammed with eight people. I did, however, have my own room. (Some people in the B-huts didn't have the pimped out kind with little walls and shit, but most did.)

Some people in the B-hut Town I lived in put up a hammock and when it snowed, they made a snowman and gave him crutches for arms and put an ACU cap on its head.
