Comments on: I’m in Qatar http://www.ayearinthesandbox.com/2009/02/19/im-in-qatar/ A chronicle of my experiences preparing for and going on a deployment to Afghanistan Fri, 27 Jan 2012 20:04:03 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.3 By: Richard http://www.ayearinthesandbox.com/2009/02/19/im-in-qatar/comment-page-1/#comment-275 Richard Wed, 04 Mar 2009 15:19:02 +0000 http://www.ayearinthesandbox.com/?p=234#comment-275 I assume you are using a thumb drive, USB, to transfer the photos? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820171362 Which mem card does your camera use? You can get an adapter that plugs raw photo data (cameras mem card) into a USB port if the formats are compatible. I used this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820223087 to transfer the wifes' europe pictures from the camera to the hard drive when we 'misplaced' the cable. I'm not a total fan-boy for Rosewill, but the only thing I bought that didn't work, failed because I didn't (help me out here) READ THE INSTRUCTIONS. I had to hook up the multi-card reader as a USB and an A drive. Turns out the operating instructions travel via USB, NOT the A drive cable. My bad. I just picked these two because they're common enough to be at a PX, Sandisk because it has a security program built in, and you can load the cameras native photo program and make the whole thing a slide show in a thumb drive. The Rosewill because it can take most photo cards. You may need an adaptor for Micro SD to SD. OH, yeah, these area both fairly gentle on the wallet.

It is fantastic how supportive everyone is.. I pray everyday, often three or four times a day or more, that God will put a hedge of protection, not only around my precious son, Drew, put around each of his comrades so that they are protected. Prayer is powerful. Very interesting about the malls.. Bet I would LOVE it but probably be paranoid about people.. Thanks so much for sharing.. You will never know how it helps! Perhaps I will be among the people welcoming you home and we can meet. You are truly an amazing person! Thank you. I hope that you know my son. You are both in the same place.

A canal with gondolas - you should feel right at home on the canal. I just saw a clip of Kevin Bacon's new movie, "Taking Chance" about a fallen soldier ceremony. I cried in the clip, which means I probably would not make it through the movie. It's a mom thang. It sounds like a fun trip – can’t wait for the pics!
