One week and counting

Alright friends, its been a few weeks since my last posting.  In the past three weeks I have completed my King Air refresher training and managed to earn an Airline Transport Pilot rating out of the deal.  The only deal better than that is breakfast in the Army.

The United States Navy has also managed to kill Bin Laden during the past few weeks.  I'm obviously pretty excited about that but also wonder what that will mean for my upcoming year in Afghanistan.

Emails out of the 172d to the inbound members of the STT have increased.  I'm in nearly daily contact with the welcome party in Germany as it begins to take shape.  I received an email today from what appears to be someone in a leadership position at the 172d (name omitted for opsec) who may indeed be a leader of one of the STT teams.

Last night my wife Karen and I went to see the movie "Bridesmaids"...well worth the six bucks.  If you have the time to see it please check it out and enjoy the "air marshall" scene and think of me fondly when you do.

I was able to spend this past weekend with my Dad, brother, step mom and sister in law.  This week finds me in the Brushy mountains of North Carolina with my in-laws.  Good company, chicken, and happy kids here at Grandmas house.  I don't know if it is the house or the surrounding area that calms me when I am here.  I have always felt that way about 993 Cedar Forest Road.

Until next time.
