    Soldiers at Patrol Base Mahawil sleep in either the bombed-out headquarters building or "tent city," a compound of 12-person tents. While headquarters personnel sleep in beds, most Soldiers live in the tents. "Tent city's the place to be," says Spc. Gerry Denardi, a native of Branford, Conn., and an infantryman with 2nd Battalion, 28th Infantry Regiment, 172nd Infantry Brigade. "That's where us hooligans live."
