And out of the Mist...

Today is my little girls B-Day. I was able to see both girls on the webcam today. I am so proud of them and what good girls they are growing into. I was worried about (groundhog day-itus) that I would somehow forget what day it was and miss the whole thing. Luckily, I did not. The picture today is training that we did the other day, it was so foggy that It was extremely creepy. Fog+Guns+Privates= Extremely Creepy. Any how, today was a good day and I can carry the vision of my girls making faces in the camera for the rest of the week.

ShipWreck

Sorry I haven’t written anything lately but I have been extremely busy. Things are going ok for me here and the other day it felt like spring already. I know that back home it is pretty freaking cold. The media has been here a couple of times and I have done my best to stay hidden from them. A week or so ago I was able to shoot an AK-47 with some of the other Drill Sergeants, it was quite a bit of fun. One of the pictures is of me and one of the Navy’s adoptions, they call him Shipmate but I like to call him Shipwreck.

Climing The Gar

The other day I climbed a mountain. My wife and friend Jeff would be proud. It was a brutal clime but once at the top a very beautiful view. I am just happy that I didn’t barf once at the top.

Snow

I hope the new year is going OK for everyone. My STK just picked up a new group of trainees so their basic has officially begun. It snowed here today for the first real time and it stuck, I told Kristi about it and she was less than amused (apparently home has had a little snow) who knew. The other day i was able to go to Camp Phoenix which other than driving on J-Bad road was pleasant. They have a Pizza Hut and yes it was very good. I am not sure if they use goat cheese but I really did not care. Things are going alright here for me and the guys, I got a new computer which helps me pass the time when we are not working. We have bizarres once a week where the locals come in and sell us their crap,,,usually that is what it is, however I am able to get the latest movies on DVD which is really nice. In a couple of weeks It will pick up quite a bit and than here comes the live ammo....agian...oh well. I will write soon, everyone take care.
