Yes today 25 policeman got executed near rafah which is about 25 miles away
from here not far from Gaza + Israeli border.
There has been a lot of killing going on around that area for the past 2 -3 months
but I'd imagine it doesn't make the news back home.

Welcome back Bacon, I gather you go back in the new year. Have things settled down over there?
Welcome back Bacon, how were things over there.?
Not that good to be honest a massive bomb went off last week about 5 miles away in a place called Sheik Zewaid then another 3Hrs later same thing again,
All the buildings shook and pictures fell off the walls,But the camp is the safest place in the Sinai
And the from last Wednesdy the weather was shite sand storm in the morning the very heavy rain for the next 3 days and strong winds
which then knocked the local power lines down so we went on backup genys for 2.5 days while they sorted it out.
But apart from that life is good.

A bomb-laden car exploded in North Sinai after security forces shot at it in suspicion, according to security sources in Sheikh Zuwaid city.
The car, according to the source, was heading in the direction of Al-Zohour military camp near the city of Sheikh Zuwaid.
The driver escaped before the car exploded, so no injuries were reported.
This is the second car bomb incident in Sinai in less than a month. On 20 November, a bomb-laden car drove into an army convoy carrying off-duty soldiers killing 11 and injuring 37.
The restive peninsula, already suffering a security vacuum since the ouster of autocrat Hosni Mubarak in 2011, has seen a spike in militant activity since Mohamed Morsi's ouster in July 2013.
Attacks on security and army targets in the Sinai region have killed over 100 since July.
Dozens of terrorists and militants have been killed since the army began a campaign to flush out "terrorists" and seize or destroy arms caches in Sinai.

Back at you Bacon, good all round, best start to a year for a long time.
You back in the Sinai?
You back in the Sinai?
Yes back in the Sinai and the weathers just starting to pick up now around 26-30c during the day.
Still some trouble going on outside but you get used to it.
Just finishing a new substation off then start another one after that,
Had an early morning call this morning at about 5.30 am by 4 Apache Choppers blowing the crap out of a village 2 miles away I could see the missiles unloading from them that went on for about 40 minutes.
All the best lads.
P.S How much does body have any idea what MM charge for calibration on testers?
