021713 Sunday is now a 1/2 work day.

The war here is winding down and the writing is on the wall.  You just need to read it.  This week our hours were cut from 84 to 72 per week.  Some groups have had their hours cut back even more (so I've heard).  At 72 hours per week I've heard a few co-workers grumble that it's "not worth being here anymore", but so far, no one has quit.  In a way, it's nice.  Working 12 hours a day every day takes a toll and now I'll probably have a fair bit of 'extra time' and I've got a lot of professional reading and other reading I'd like to catch up on. 

Also there is building going on around the base and in one pic here you can see a 'house' that has gone up just outside the base.  Of course we've referred to the 'house' as the 'newest RPG launch point' and it's not a matter of if but rather when it will be used for that or a sniper point.  So soon there will be a 'sniper wall' going up (you can see part of it being built now in the pic) and a sniper wall is just a green nylon tarp that will be extended up from the current concrete walls so that a sniper (or anyone else) will again no longer be able see inside the base from over the wall.
