Where to begin? Today was one of two days off in a row, sweet. Tomorrow I will try to get done everything that I need done for the rest of the week paper work wise and then it will be another quick week for me. Time is going by pretty quick these days I am finally adjusting to a normal routine here. I fly pretty often and we have many missions that we perform and support and I do feel like we are making a difference over here.
Last night I talked to Marie for over an hour and it felt like it was ten minutes. So I will try to call her again tonight as soon as I am done on here and after I post one picture of some of my friends to my blog. I have to Photo Shop it first to remove all the names but I wanted you to all see some of the people that I work with. They are great Americans and I am lucky to be serving with them here in Afghanistan. We are all from Savannah some of the other airframes we have here are from other places but as for Gun Pilots and Crew Chiefs we are all from Savannah Georgia and missing it a lot. Cincinnati will always be my home town but my true home will always be wherever Marie and the Kids are. And for hopefully the next 6 years or so home will be Savannah Georgia. Go Sand Knats! I can’t wait to get home and try to take Marie and the kids to a few more games. We have lived there for over a year and we went to my first game shortly before I left and it was a blast. Cost us next to nothing and we all had a great time and needless to say I want to do so much more of that with my family. Life is so short kids grow so fast and people change so quickly I don’t want to miss anything else. I promise all of you this; from this day forward I will try to do all the things that I have said I will never try for whatever reason. That I will never say no to things that do not appeal to me and I will encourage my wife and kids to live each day as if it could be our last. We life in the best Country on the planet and we need to see all of it. I want to see the red wood trees and I want to show them to my family and everything else that is amazing and unique in our Country. And then and only then once we have been to all four corners of the US we will travel abroad and take in all the great things that this world has to offer. When I am old and grey and my life is close to its end I will never say I wish that I could have done that. Now is the time to go and see and do all of the things that I want to do.
Well once again I sit down here to talk about my day in Afghanistan and I go off on a tangent about the first thing that pops into my mind. Not that there is anything wrong about planning future events and thinking about what you want to do with the rest of your life after the Army. Because I am pretty sure that after 32 years of keeping a short hair cut serving in the Army I owe it to myself to make some plans. Alright on that note and the fact that I type so damn slow its after 23:00 and I need to get off of here and upload the picture I took of all my new combat buddies that I am spending time with this year in OEF. Night all
