Moved to COP Meade...

Ah, so that's why they call me "Gilligan."
I could probably lift it alone, but the 30 ton jack helps.

"Okay, now Ray, you hold the 2x4 while I apply the glue..."


It seems Major Brott got himself lost in the maze of our neighborhood.



SFC Colon, aka Cone Head (notice the nice bump on his head, I like to take credit for that), providing a typical look.




SFC Parker lifting the shower CHU all by his lonesome.





Sometimes the sunset is quite nice. Nothing like Missouri though.






This is one of the early photos. Soon I'll post an ''after'' photo.


We have finally moved to COP Meade, and honestly, we are all quite happy. One of the first things we accomplished was the installation of our internet. It's amazing how reliant we have all become on the internet. We still haven't gotten our AFN satellite dish up, and won't for a few more days.
The shower CHU finally got hooked up. The first few days were rough, having to walk about 300 yards to take a cold shower. Now we have our own hot showers. However, we are still making our deposits in wag-bags.
All of our individual skills are coming out during this move. We all seem to want to build things but have little resources.
Anyway, things have been really busy. There haven't been many photo opportunities, therefore few postings. With the upcoming holidays there should be more photos...
Hold down the home front for us.

It's good to see that your CB skills are being well used. Although, a co-worker who spent several days on vacation last week fixing a crooked wall put up by a CB contingent working for Habitat for Humanity in Mississippi, might question the effort. I'm confident, however, that your efforts were plumb.

The juxtaposition of the sunset against the row of camouflaged vehicles and the wall is peaceful , yet disturbing. Disturbing times.

Be well.

Ok, so you HAVE to tell us what happened to SFC Colon's head, and what did you do that contributed to it?
The palm tree in your camp is pretty - adds a warm, homey touch!
Thanks so much for posting. Your blog site is the best thing in the world for us to see how you're doing and your pictures are wonderful.
Stay safe.
Love, Mom
