Its been awhile.

I realize that it has been 6 months since I last posted something and the mood struck me to write so I figure I would drop a short line. I'm headed back to Afghanistan shortly and I will do my best to update on my thoughts and experiences, as well as include some pictures this time of what life is like. It will be a bit more austere living than the last time, so internet and phone access could be a bit dodgy.

A little update on me. I am still at Ft.Bragg and I have my own Fire Support team. As per my usual jobs, its a rank above what I am currently at and I should be going to the promotion board at the end of the year for my E-6. I'm still trying to jump out of aircraft whenever I can although I've been sidelined for awhile with a slight fracture in my kneecap from flag football during All-American week in May. Yes, its the same leg that I destroyed my ankle playing football in college. Just no luck there. I am dating a very beautiful and amazing girl namedTiffany, who lives near Raleigh. I am very lucky to have met her and while she is not thrilled about me going to Afghanistan, we had a mini test of me being deployed when I went down to Louisiana in April for training and I had to battle mosquitos and crappy cell phone coverage just to talk to her. We made it through that so hopefully the year will go by quickly.

Other than that, I am anxious to deploy. I'll actually get to do my job this time (much to the dismay of.....well.....everyone that knows me) so I am excited about that. I can't say much, but we have an interesting mission that should allow us to make an impact into the area we are going. Anyway, I will try and blog more (I've said that before but I'll follow through this time) and keep ya updated on all the events going on with me. For security reasons, I am gonna hold back on posting my address but if you would like it, just leave a comment with your e-mail address and I can send it to ya or hit me up on Facebook.

95A, out.
