A new enemy

We've encountered a new, mobile enemy whose numbers out match ours millions of times over. SAND FLIES. That's right - sand fly season is here - these horrible flies swarm all over base, get into your uniform and bite you leaving what looks like a mosquito bite behind. These sand flies aren't the size of a normal fly, they look more like a nat. Measures are in place to help protect us from this enemy - our uniforms were treated before we left the states, we use bug spray with DEET, and KBR (Kellogg, Brown, and Root aka Halliburton) fogs the base every night to control the population of sand flies. All this helps but you still get bitten - current count for me right now is about 9 which is good because others in our unit have 9 bites on one arm!
