Kuwait Info

It sounds like if/when I get to Kuwait, I'll be passing through an APOD, or Arial Point of Debarcation, called Camp Wolverine.  It doesn't sound like there's any way into Iraq for soldiers except via this camp.  Michelle forwarded me this Stars and Stripes article describing what to expect.

Yeah, when I was there, we all called it camp wolf for short. In my opinion, they have the best chow hall in Kuwait. Salad bar, hamburger bar, pizza bar, pasta bar, chinese cuisine bar. Even though we have 30 ally countries in theatre, you will find most of these foreign troops hanging out in Kuwait at Arifjan, Doha, or Wolf, so there are better amenities for these foreign guys. The Internet Cafe chain CyberZone has a location in Wolf as well as plenty of other places in Kuwait. $6/hour to hook up your laptop. It can add up, but most of the time, it's the best option for Internet. Net2Phone works great at those locations. I even saw one guy with a USB phone handset.
