Another day, another sand storm in Djibouti. Well, not exactly. A dirt storm would be more accurate. As I stand outside of my Containerized living unit (CLU) and survey the layout of Camp Lemonnier, I realize that I am completely surrounded by it.There is no escaping it. The dirt works its way into my shoes, my ears; hell, I'm pretty sure I've been shitting dust bombs for a week. It's fairly depressing for a southern lad like myself, so I decided to spruce the place up a little bit. Ya know, make it feel more like home.
The image at the top is what a typical CLU block looked like when I first arrived here. As you can see, it's pretty dull and lifeless. The image at the bottom is the new and improved CLU-ville. They say don't feed the animals around here, but that opossum is just so damned cute.
Stay tuned for more improvements. Next time, I'll show you all of the major upgrades I've been making to the shitters around here. Be forwarned, some of the illustrations my negatively affect those with week stomachs.
