Hey Everybody

things are going well
went out on another mission
seems i will be sliptting a little time between missions
and doing the communications stuff

the days seems to be going by pretty quick cause i'm keeping busy
but i dont want to say that to loud

it rained again today and everything that was almost dry from the last stuff
is all slosh again...i think i prefer the sand

i almost have my leave dates...almost
this is for pass and i cant wait...i didnt really want to come back to the states
cause it is harder to come back after a visit like that
i would've rather spent it some place in europe but its not really enough
time to do the kinda sightseeing that i would like to do
so i opted for the states

i started shooting some video maybe a documentary in the making
i'll keep you updated on that

thanksgiving is just around the corner and never in my life did i think
i would be spending another holiday year with the army overseas
bosnia was enough but gotta hang through it
i am still wondering who the USO (http://www.uso.org/) will be sending over here if anybody
not sure how they decide who is going where

i have been getting some goodie pakages from family and friends
and let me tell ya...it's been nice(THANKS)

anyways things are good i am safe and thats all i can ask for

take care

Hey Everybody

Sorry to keep everybody in the dark
but been real busy adjusting to new things and finally moving into my room.

It's about time...cause let me tell ya i was getting used to living in tents with
way to many males and sleeping on cots...i think thats bad.
And to think the cots we actually getting comfortable. I do like my small bed
now thought that my feet practically hang off of and i am only 5'8"

Its good two man rooms and I finally have my own space so I am happy as can be.

I am also gettin trained in a new position as an assistant to the communications expert.
She has a real big job and definately needs help...lots of hours but I enjoy learning something
new and keeping my brain working.
It is very rewarding getting the communications ready for the convoys that go out.
It is really the life line and I know from experiance that everybody is worried about it
so anythig I can do to help eleviate any of the worries is great.

I dont really know how long I will be needed for this but hopefully as long as I can

Other than that...the rainy season has started here in IRAQ and it sucks.
We get the whole years worth in a couple of months so you have to understand that
the sand turns into mudd that is everywhere...oh kinda like the sand...cant win.

I have not had time to animate at all..so hopefully that will change..i have a few ideas that i hope to explore.
So instead I have just been observing the way that things move...mostly people
their actions and just the way people do their normal things.
It will help me in the long run cause at least I am still thinking like an animator!! :)

Things are always unpredictable in this life style but I guess its's like that in any profession
just we dont tend to think of it as much
But i should be able to keep you updated more often

Thanks for all of everyones support...it means alot to me
take care

and chat soon

I'm gonna try to uplode some pice of me in Indiana and Kuwait
lets see if you can tell the differance

Another thing i might have forgotten I an in souhern Iraq..Tallil Airforce Base/Camp Adder
Oh and Thomas I believe you read these...so email me man...I dont have your email
