Catching up

I realized that it has been since January that I last posted. A lot has happened, but then again it has been business as usual for us.

We are currently operating without the last two members of our team to go on leave. This means that we are closer to going home. We are actually under 100 days from being home.



Business as usual has gotten us all awarded with the Bronze Star Medal. Our IA Brigade has been highly successful and effective. Our awards are a reflection of thier accomplishments.
Here with our augments from 4-27, who received Arcoms.

Here newly promoted SGT Chase pushes for his new rank. 50 + 1 for his unit, +1 for the Mitt, +1 for himself.


Our new MRAPs. These babies are highly armored, and smooth riding. Of course they have their flaws: hard to steer and they don't fit anywhere.




The Caiman is quite an ugly ride.
A question was posed to me about our mailing address, the last four of the zip code. Personally I have never used the last four, nor recieved a package or letter including it. Our host unit, 4-27, didn't bother to tell us when our last day for mail pickup or where we could forward our mail. So those of us who have packages on the way will lose them when they are forwarded to Germany or when they are returned to the sender. Typical 4-27.
See you soon
