Going home

No, not going home for good just mid tour leave. I fly out hopefully in a few days. I will be home for about 15 days then back to the furnace of Baghdad. It really is getting hot here, highs reaching 120 and lows only in the upper 80's. I've packed and passed responsibility for my job on so now I just wait until we leave to drop me off. Anyway, this blog hasn't been going like I thought and I apologize for that, but the distractions are too many to deal with and I let myself get involved in other distractions, ie internet, UFC, Scrubs, etc. Anyway, will blog some more when I get back if I can.

Graduation

Well, I finally finished my school, CLC3. I am now officially a Logistics Officer in the Army. We are off to Orlando this week for vacation, then back to Ft Lee for a couple weeks until I leave for Ft Riley. Well, have to pack so this is short.

Special Forces

Looks like my team leader will be a Special Forces Major who specializes in counterinsurgency ops. This could be an interesting year while we help an Iraqi Battalion. I am not looking forward to the 15 months away from the family but it looks to be a great learning opportunity. We're getting ready to run another PFT tomorrow and Friday we graduate. Next week I'm taking my family to Florida so my daughter can experience DisneyWorld before we head off to Europe after I get back. Yes, there is EuroDisney but it isn't the same, plus we'd have to go to France. Anyway, just sitting in the hotel outside the base and thought I'd post an update.
