I know

Currently I’m sitting in Cheeburger Cheeburger, by the way have excellent burgers, in the Richmond, Va Airport waiting for a return flight back Mississippi.  I know it’s been a long time since I’ve posted anything.  Mainly I’ve been without internet.  You would think in the year 2009 the United States Army would have decent internet available…guess again.

So January I reported to my unit to for a 32 hour or 2 day convoy to Mississippi.  Clocking in 32 hours you would’ve thought we were driving to Texas or something.  Anyways Mississippi has been interesting a lot of training and some down time.  Now how I got to Richmond is interesting.  January 17th I needed to report to school and they either forgot or….well I think they forgot.  When they finally got my flight made I was in the middle of a training exercise.  I got word I needed to report and I was promptly dropped off on the side of the road with full gear waiting for a ride.  So for about 15 minutes freezing in the middle of who knows where I was waiting for my ride.  I had about 5 minutes to grab and pack.  Gotta love the Army.

So since January 17th I’ve been at Fort Pickett for MOS (my job) training.  There’s not much of anything except woods and gravel there.  But it was nice to have some down time from the hectic training and plus I got to see Jen for a weekend.   In a way I don’t want to leave, but also looking forward to getting back to my unit.  The deployment mobilization has had some high times and some low times.  Occasionally I have a day where I just want to be back home and with family and friends.

Thanks everyone for the prayers and support.
