After a few serious updates from me, I thought I would lighten things up a bit. The weather has been nice lately with the temps dropping into the lower 80s at night. The days have still been in the 100s, but this "cold spell" has sure been nice.
I'm 1/3 of the way done with my deployment now. We're replacing about 1/3 of our group today as well. That means I have new people to get to know and lead on this mission. That also means I have new people that will test the limits of the rules and push against the authority. The SMSgt and I will have to make sure that will be a losing battle for them!
My morale is high; though I'm dog tired today after rounding up new guys from incoming flights the past couple days and making sure they got to their rooms ok. I've got a routine here and having to do that definitely took me out of my routine. It's not the best routine - I haven't been good about accomplishing a couple things that I've wanted to while I'm here, but I'm doing alright.
Thanks to all who have sent care packages. Myself and the troops have enjoyed everything you've sent!
There's not a lot to write about really. I know Heather sent something out to me today, so I've got that to look forward to as my next "milestone". She and Aidan will be trekking up to Wisconsin soon enough for a good time. I'm really jealous that I can't be with them. That's going to be one helluva birthday party and I hate going a whole summer without a ride on Tom Foolery.
That's all from this undisclosed location in Iraq. Have a good day!
