I cleared medical processing on Thursday. I guess you can say I got my ticket punched for Iraq! It has been a long journey starting when I got the call in July while I was on family vacation that I was being mobilized. I was transfered to the unit in August, went to Tucson, AZ for processnig in October, spent the month of December at FT Dix, NJ (we walked to a little store called a "Shoppette" just to see a little Christmas tree and hear Christmas music a couple times a week just to try and salvage some christmas spirit.) Came home, I had some intense Chiropractic care for a couple weeks to get my back straightened out from a pinched nerve I got as soon as I got to Ft Dix....last few days couldnt feel my toes on my right foot but kept training. If it werent for Dr. Wuest in Murray, I wouldnt have mad my next stop...Riverside , CA...2 more weeks of training there at an AFB, then left for Ft, Hood, TX which is wher I am now. I am finishing training here and will take a 5 day class on army contracting, since I will have some contractor duties in Iraq. As of now, I am tasked with running the postal operation on Camp Anaconda for the Brigade....pretty big job as you might could guess, but that assignment could change as I have learned that the Army is fond of change, sometime, just for change sake. Anyway, I have kept up with the big "storm of the century" in Mayfield. I appreciate everyone who has checked on Leila and the kids...she has done great, Bear Grills shes not, but has provided just fine for the kids (compliments of Hampton Inn!) Gotta run for now, doing PT with an 9MM pistol strapped to my hip is a new experience! Ill post pics later.
