The rain has been non-stop the last couple of days here in Mosul. This has played havoc with our operations, as the roads are washing out, what isn't covered by standing water is covered by mud (usually it's a combo), and the motivation of our National Police brethren--most of whom only have one uniform and little or no rain gear--is not exactly high. Unfortunately, our pics don't show the extent of the flooding.
All in all, it's been good fun. The MRAPs slide around on mud like a toddler on a frozen pond. Everyone got a good leg workout due to the extra 10 pounds of mud on everyone's boots, and we had a blast playing "get to the latrine trailer without drowning" when we came back at night. I ask you: does it get any better?
