Troops Update

Well my update is a little less exciting, I did get to experience a new event in work, and I (maybe we) am getting more excited about moving closer to Beth. It is looking like mid-March I will be in Eden. I will miss the friends, co-workers and work experience I have here in Iraan, but I feel I need to be closer to our close friends and each other. So here is a run down of my week.
  • Monday-Cade and I went to the gun range, then went to dinner with a close group of friends (something I have missed since being in Iraan).
  • Tuesday-I was assigned to help with the Presidential Duty for President Bush in Midland. It was Bush's welcome home party after he left DC. I was assigned to block an intersection for the motorcade route. It was a neat experience and a good welcome home. I got to see the motorcade but have no clue which one was his vehicle. It was a long day but definitely worth it at the end of the day.
  • Weds till today-I was back on the Highway.

I learned next time not to leave Beth both Bandit and the Xbox. I not only had to go through the week without Beth, but also no Bandit or an Xbox to occupy my time.

So did you have any dealing with the Secret Service?

Yeah...but they kept being so secret, who would have known.
