Well I’ve been much busier than I bargained for, so here’s the first 2011 update:
We had a few (possibly too many) guys on R&R the last month, so I’ve been filling in for nearly five different jobs. It wasn’t terrible, just that taking the ball while running was a lot like drinking from the fire hose.
The only real update in the past few weeks, however, is that it has finally gotten cold enough to show some snow. I realized I hadn’t really updated any photos since, like, October. I’ve gotten pretty sick of taking the same pictures for six months, so I took a break.
But now, new scenery! My CO says he feels like we’re in a Coors Light commercial and I’ll agree to that. Ironically enough it still doesn’t get too cold during the day (for us Chicago descendents) but the nights are nearly freezing.
Other than that, we haven’t let up on taking the fight to the enemy. Yesterday we tested our TOW missle system that was back from maintenance, and I got one of the best shots of the deployment!
Now, R&R is right around the corner. At the end of February I’ll be taking my “mid tour leave” – at month 10 of 12. Oh well. When I get back, there will be less than two months left!

Great photos. Yep it does look like a Coor’s picture
That is an awesome shot! Looking forward to your R&R!
I have enjoyed reading your blogs and viewing the pictures. Keep your spirits up these last few months and remember there are people all over the world praying for each of you. God bless!
Home sweet home…oh how I miss it.
