FOB Marez, Mosul __ If anybody’s wondering what the rooms for enlisted soldiers look like here, Tony took this picture.
“It’s about one and a half times a jail cell,” said the soldier in the picture, Pvt. Chris Walters.
It’s pretty small, but still beats living in a tent with cots.
Walters is a 20-year-old from Carson City Nevada. I’ve mentioned him before in a story.
Walters married his wife, Sarrah, right before deploying from Fort Lewis to Iraq. He downloaded Internet phone software so he can call her and get voice mail messages on his computer.
