Blog Activation

Greetings! This is the first day for the life of this blog. I hope that this will help to keep everyone informed about what I'm doing over in Iraq, as well as about my wellbeing. Feel free to comment here with any questions or concerns. Depending on how busy I get with our missions, it might be a day before I can respond, or it might be weeks, I'm just not sure at this point.

Starting tomorrow I have exactly 1 month before I leave to begin training! I will be leaving for Camp Shelby, Mississippi for WLC - Warrior Leader Course. This is a 2 week long training course for Sergeants so they can work on the skills and procedures (paperwork, etc.) to function in a leadership position like a Team Leader (which is me) or a Squad Leader. I'll update again later once the Army figures out when we will begin our deployment training.

Sarah, my wife, has been added to the authors of this blog so she can keep people up on things going on at the home-front.

I have some Iraqi Sandstorm footage at the bottom of the page. I couldn't get just one video to show, so my favorite one is the second from the left.

I hope to talk with everyone soon!
