Feb 14 - Feb 17

I landed (on Valentine's Day) very tired, very hungry, and very cold. Great combo! It wasn't all bad - I got to see my buddies that are here already. This place has Mountains all around it. Covered in snow. Oh my room is a converted shipping container turned into large RLBs (Relocatable Buildings). Not bad- at least it isn't a tent or a hole in the ground. My bed is right on the ground, I know I'm short but hey- not that short.

Well started work got all my gear issued to me. This M16 is driving me nuts. I have to carry it everywhere I go. But I guess it for a reason.....like to keep the bad guys away. Work isn't to bad yet. Just cold at night. Food is good (and Amanda we know about how my tummy can be!) We have a large USO building, The Pat Tillman Center, a good place to hang out. When I saw the name it kind of hit home. I'll write more later about that and otherthings.

I work with a great bunch of cools folks but not as cool as Amanda. I miss her a lot more than I thought I would. I miss my kids too, but that is a given. Ok guys where is my e-mail from you guys at work.....Sammy if you are reading this -what up? Ok I'll let you go for now. Oh this place is a very very busy base. But hey the Navy is right beside me Go Navy...Beat Army LMAO

Oh hey guys- I got Amanda flowers for Valentines Day and I was a few thousand miles away. What did you do?????LMAO I got major points!
