Sgt. Doug gave permission to post this:

Elections went very smooth. Had some vehicles carrying ballots roll thru the
ECP. A curfew was in place in Baghdad, so it was meant to be smooth. The next
few days while ballots are counted and results posted is what we are braced for.
Just got back from the chow hall. They gave us two beers per an for the
SuperBowl. nobody watched the game, slammed two beers and left. I must
confess, they were damn good. Sorry for not writing more than a few lines
lately, just busy as hell lately and time gets away from you. Boom count up to
around 40. Hard to believe. Will be at Caddo in no time. Send the pic of your
knife to Wilk, I told him abouit it tonight, we sat together and consumed. I
look forward to the two of you meeting, he's a good man.
