I made it safely to Kuwait. First point was Camp Wolverine: basically, a "tent city" near the Kuwaiti airport (I'm sure you can Google it). I then processed my Visa, and was taken across Kuwait City to Camp Doha, a more established Army Base.
Camp Doha has been around since the first Gulf War, so they have been able to improve upon the site by, say, adding a Starbucks to their stores on site.
I will be here for an undeterminable amount of time, and then it's off to Iraq. I will try and throw another update here in a couple days.
