We finally left






We finally took off from STP, and literally flew right into spring.......4 gas stops, 7 hrs of flight time.....left the snow about southern IA. So far, real long days, welcome back to the Army,(oh boy!).....these will be somewhat short notes here for a little while, 'til I get some internet set up somewhere, I'm on a friends 'puter using a wifi card. Next three days are combat lifesaving, sticking each other wtih I V's, inserting nasal breathing tubes(ouch) and we'll each make up a IV bag kit for each of us for future use......
Foods pretty good, nice big dining facility, but theres 440 of us here now, and we are bused everywhere. Rooms are really small, 7 of us (1 guy from HI and 1 guy from WA) in each room, plus ea of has 6 bags or packs..... feels like sardines. It's quite an adjustment getting back in the army, but its all coming back tom me now...... better go , I think of 90 things to say during the day, but my clerical staff is lacking (ha,ha). Thanks, and I thank the Lord for family and friends, and all these dedicated folks here. See ya.....

Hey Dad! Glad to hear that y'a made it okay!

Yeah, welcome back to the Army, huh... You'll do great! :)

Glad to hear that you're not stuck eating MREs the whole time...haha... Your room sounds a bit cramped. I'm sure that you'll get your normal routine down in no time.

Well, I'm off...here in Florida for a show... Better get back to work...

Take care, look forward to the next words from y'a... Love y'a pops! :)

Brad, glad to have this blog. I thought at first a blog was something we took photos of from the air! Anyway, glad you made it south. I was under you at 500 Lafayette when u folks did your fly-by. The ground shook! Hope it made the anti's eyes water!! Sorry I did not make it to your sendoff, I got all goofed up. I look forward to your e-mail, but I know you are busy right now. Will talk later, take care.
