First off, I would like to thank you all for the warm birthday wishes. It felt great hearing from everyone. It was weird not being home for it, but the kind words made it alot easier. Thanks again.
Just trying to settle in here as we continue to synchronize ("rip" in army jargon) with the departing unit. It has been a daunting task to establish any degree of normalcy because we are ripping with several different units at the same time. The area that my company owns is enormous. With so much terrain comes the infrastructure and personalities and everything else, its a lot to digest. One day ata time.....
What has been troubling is that one of the units we are replacing has not been doing there job to army standards. This happens from time to time as units become too comfortable in their area. The problem with this is that it leads to complacency, and that is a soldier's worst enemy. As the new unit coming in, I get the sense that their are serious gaps in intelligence that we will need to fill. No problem, just a little more work on our end. It will get done.
In other news, I was adopted! Visit www.soldiersangels.org. Since it has become apparent that alot of people are viewing this blog, I felt I should mention it. Its a fantastic site where you adopt a soldier over seas and send them "goodies." Just do me a favor, adopt an army soldier or marine. The air force and navy guys have got great tans over here from lying around on their fat asses. The same can be said for National Guard. I can't believe soldiers who are currently not deployed are asking to be adopted ;)
Well I guess that's all I have for now. I have to run, theres a job to finish before our Democratic Country decides to take over the world.
Love you all!
p.s. Im glad to see someone got to eat cheescake on my birthday!
