Briefly....
I have been chosen over all other LTs in the BDE to be the Platoon Leader for the BDE CDR's Personal Security Platoon.
It is an honor, though one I didn't seek.
I will leave my Platoon, Troop, and Squadron in 8 days.
It's going to be very sad for me to leave my Platoon.
I don't know what my living conditions will be at my new base. I hope that I will continue to have internet in my room, but I've done such a horrible job of updating this anyways.....
Please don't send me any more mail until I get the new address out through this and email channels. All mail already sent will find me, so don't despair.
I will keep you all informed.

p.s. The mustache will have to go...sorry to all the fans...
Iraq
This is what Iraq looks like.
When in Rome...
Hitting the Hookah. It was Strawberry flavored. Odd....
At least there's not a War to focus on.
We have a saying in the Army..."There wouldn't be a rule unless someone has done it."
This is how I roll
It is a little tough to return fire, but hey the Germans used bicycle scouts!
Sheik Hoffmann
A normal Muslim man is allowed 4 wives. A Sheik is allowed 10.....you know...for the good of the Tribe
Jena and her baby
Jena is the bossy daughter of a shopkeeper next to the Check Point. If there's a long line for the searches she'll yell in english "HURRY UP!" To my knowledge that and the Barney "I Love You" song is the only english she knows.
Sand Surfing
Push Cart guys having some fun with me. Because the only vehicles allowed into Ameriya are residents, grocers and other delivery trucks must pay these guys to move their cargo into the town.
Iraqi Kids
Iraqi Kids at Check Point in front of their house. The little girl walks around singing the Barney song and the kid in the hat pedals his tricycle around in circles for hours...kids are kids are kids...
No thanks, I'm busy...
My Dad, Jer, Connor, and Kelli on the Frozen Tundra. My dad has been freeloading off of my inability to get to WI for 2 seasons now...
My Offspring
Goofing off at the Airport coming back from WI
Connor at "The Frozen Tundra"
What you can't see is that Connor is standing in the bed of a pick-up amongst the blood from the previous night's Deer hunt

As repeated use of acronyms and jargon have barred me from having any understanding of what you're saying, please pick the sentiment that mostly closely identifies with your feelings on the situation.
