Time away still sucks...

And Camp Buehring is remote but fairly comfortable. That Brigade from 4th Infantry Division will be home soon. (I assume he is Army, many of my students from the Army Intelligence school house are there now)

You and his own family have my highest concerns. This is hard on everyone. Tell his wife, from an old vet, that she is a hero for holding down the home front.

Glad you're here! Thank you for your service as well. If I were president, I'd bring 'em home now. Fuck it. NOW. That's it. We've had enough. Let's say we won and go home.

And that he stays safe and healthy...

He is a field medic and I fear that may go TDY back to Afgan.

Good wishes for him, you and his/your family.

after he died, that he worried daily and was most happy when a letter or tape came in the mail from me.

Take care of his Family.

My Wife and I will send him some stuff by way of care packages if you wanna pm me his APO. If not I totally understand.

But he receives one box a week from his wife, and two from Loving wife and myself. I like to bake for him and always fill them with cookies, dried beef, fudge, cinnamon pecans, pecan pie bars and chocolate rum cake.
He complains that I am trying to make him, and the whole squad, fat.

Again, Thank You for offering.

No internet. No current news. Two week old VHS tapes of ball games. That time bridged the gap between "when men were steel and ships were wood" and the way things are now.

If you ever decide to do something for the entire squad, I'm in.

Armourers School 1&2, but never worked in one. Spent 3 years as a Small Arms Instructor at Parris Island MCRD. Mainly teaching college ROTC how to handle the M-16a1. THAT was scary!!

...and a happy homecoming for him and his family.
