While you’re waiting for me to finish HBO’s Inland Northwest roundup, you can take this Billings Gazette quiz re: Iraq and Afghanistan that was put together by Billings seventh-graders here. I answered 7 of the 10 questions correctly.

Nine comments on this post so far. Add yours!

Nine out of 10, missed the one on how many bases we have over there.

I would have thought I’d get that one right since I read so much about military stuff over there because of our kids being stationed there.

We just got an email from our son who is in one of the staging areas in Kuwait. He said it always feels like you’re standing in front of a big oven with the door open (and he would know since he’s a cook).

It seems so funny now but remember when this thing first started and they were in such an all-fire hurry to get it started and over with quickly because it would be too hot in the summer time over there for our troops? Hah, right, what are we now, six or seven summers into it?

JBelle is such a smarty pants…I bet she was one of those girls who sat at the front of the class and was all studious and stuff.
