Back from Iraq and posting again. From September through December, this was the view from my quarters at Camp Victory.
The concrete barriers are "T" walls; foot-thick concrete blast barriers about 12 feet high. At the bottom is a Hesco barrier, 4 feet in diameter, about 4 feet high, and filled with sandbags. There were 2 Hesco barriers on each side of my trailer door; the passageway between the barriers and the "T" wall was only about 2 feet wide. Claustrophobic? Yes. Comforting? Yes.
