Greeting Everyone!
I know it's been a while, but there's been alot of activity over the last few weeks. Mostly, our folks made the move from Fallujah to Al Asad.

I've got great memories of Fallujah. In alot of ways, it was a neighborhood where you knew everybody, and vice versa. You came back from travel, and folks would stop by and see how things went...how's the family, etc. I made tons of friends and memories here in just a short few months.

Below are some shots of move preps, and just saying good-bye.

With moving comes new experiences, new people to meet, and new challenges to face. Interestingly enough, the camp in Al Asad that I've moved to has that same flavor of hospitality that Fallujah had. Great people, folks not afraid to shake hands as equals and carry out duties as Sailors.

I've assumed duties as a Battalion EWO (in addition to my Regimental duties), and even though I've got greater responsibility, I've got even more contact with our people doing the good work and keeping our logistics operations safe.

Here's a couple of snaps from the camp:

Lastly, here a couple of shots from my new home. Yep, it's a connex box (the type of thing you see on container ships), but the 'Bees did a great job of insulating and building it up...a realtor would even raise an eyebrow.

These guys and gals are just awesome.

I'll have more soon Everyone...thanks for staying tuned.

SEMPER FORTIS,
