OIF

Hey everyone. Well we got our fly dates so this is probably going to be the last update in the US for a while. Just so you know I have no idea what's going to go on over there or how long it's going to take to get set up or the internet capabilities, so don't hold your breath until the next update. Also, I've been updating about 4 times a week but over there I may not be able to get as many in, so make sure you're checking often. Amy’s coming down this weekend and I’m going to give her the CD w/ all the pictures on it so there should be pictures up next week sometime. Well I love you all, thanks to all of you that came to visit me while I’m here. And ill say to you all like I said to them...see you in a little while. Peace and love, ill hopefully get to talk to you all soon. Peace

Sup guys. Another day another task BUT!!!! WE ARE VALIDATED AS OF TODAY!!!!! That’s right, no more stuff to do with training until we leave. Today was cool. We went through the last day of our checkpoint stuff. This guy had a bomb in his car and took off on us so we had to chase him down. Now since these are all actors, we usually take it really easy on them. But this guy wasn't going for that, he obviously loved this stuff. me and another guy had him and couldn't take him down for anything, since we were trying not to hurt him. finally the other guy that had him (which used to be a cop) said forget this and slammed the guy down. it was really fun, no one got hurt, but it was good to have real training like that. so now we're done, some of my family is coming down tomorrow and the rest including Amy are hopefully coming down Saturday for a day. that's pretty close to leaving time, so I’m really psyched about getting to see all of them one more time for the next year. well, that's it I guess. hope you all are having fun, for you coming down, can't wait to see you. goodnight and have fun. Peace
