Our new home
Hello friends and families. Since my last post the platoon has settled into what will be our new home for the next 12 months or so (for now anyways...). Due to operational security I won't say where exactly we are or how long we've been here. However, we are currently living in a giant tent divided into rooms by plywood partitions. The guys are currently tearing down the walls to build nicer rooms for everyone. On the FOB (forward operating base) we have a nice dining facility, two gyms, an MWR facility with internet and phone access, a coffee shop, a PX, and a ton of other little shops. Overall the place is pretty nice. I'm working on getting wireless internet to my personal computer so that I can post some pictures pretty soon. Talk to you all soon.

ReplyDeleteCole, sounds like your platoon is a good one. We ran across a(Col.)I assume because he has been in army 22 yrs and just left Iraq and his wife said "I loved those guys because they kept this one (her husb.) safe while he was over there. He is the son-in-law to our neigh.catty corner from us, she is the older lady that papa helps change her outside lights for her when the bulbs are burned out. I just had to shake her son in laws hand and congratulate him. I have extremely strong feeling for all our soldiers who are there. I want all of them protected and a prayer cover over all your platoon. Just know prayers are sent up for all you and your men. Love grandma
