Home at last
Categories:   Home

So we finally made it home. It is a wonderful feeling. Now to get settled into my new apartment, enjoy fast internet and real TV as well as the Colorado Springs weather.

The year went by pretty fast I must say. Although we suffered a tremendous loss, we feel that we did some good in both the Kirkuk and Mosul provinces. Violence has gone down in Mosul and the people are generally happier.

This will be my last entry in the blog as the domain name is expiring and I do not need the blog anymore. Thanks to Hatton for being kind enough to host the site for me. Thanks to everyone for all the support and encouraging words thoughout the tour.

Seven Days
I can almost taste the beer now
Categories:   Iraq
So we are down to about seven days until we are home. To say we are excited is an understatement. The silly details are about over, all of our stuff is packed in the shipping containers and will be leaving Iraq soon. We have turned in everything that we do not need to carry with us. Our days are filled with doing school work, hanging out at the MWR playing games or watching movies, sitting in the tent playing games and watching movies, or sleeping and eating. Soon though we will be in Kuwait where we will go through some mandatory briefings, then off to home to more briefings and all the other silly things that we have to do when we redeploy back home. But then we will be on block leave shortly after that. 30 days of vacation. Good times.
