i was there for OIF III in baghdad. i stayed there for one year went through all the seasons. spring time it rains and it will get muddy as fcuk. they didnt have any sewer system and the iraqi's throw there trash on their front yard so rain + trash = shiet. summer is the worst cause it rosed to 140 degrees and when your in full combat gear a lot of little things will get annoying. when the sun hits your face it will burn. fall and winter is cold and windy as hell at night. the only thing thats good is the money. good luck over at the sand box.
