December is here

Well everyone, it's finally December! Never thought it would be here already. I have been through a lot the last couple days and I sit back and think about everyone at home and the struggles my wife is going through, I can't stop thinking about her, every day I am thankful for such a lovely wife and two beautiful children. I have a little more than 75 days left and it seems to be going buy pretty quick. I jus started my last 3 classes I will be taking here, they will take me up until lat January then I will be planning on my replacement coming in. Time is flying and it's getting busy here. I got a coin and cert from the Battalion commander,XO, and some company commanders the other day for my hard work and determination. It was a great thing 4th ID did and they were great. Well, I will see everyone soon.

Thanksgiving

Today is thanksgiving, we all should be thankful I know I am! Even though I am currently away from my family I still have a family. My wife and kids are everything to me, I would do anything for them. I am also thankful for the wonderful country I live in and serve. My life is sooo good right now the only thing that would be better is to be home right now and we everyone! So take care and cherish every min you spend with loved ones.

It's been a while

I know it has been a while since I have posted, but things have been crazy with the 4IDMP's leaving and other guys coming in a long with training them I still have my unit stuff and the FOB stuff to handle. Finally got one of my unit members back to help with. cases and customs. And just to hang out with. The 549th MP Co. Is in the MP station now and they are cool as hell. I have about 90 days or select and it can't come fast enough! I want to be with my family so bad. I am missing my wife, son, and daughter. The kids are soooo big and it sucks. Well I'm numbing myself out so I will post soon.

November

So here we are in November and y unit is counting down the days to redeployment! Think someone said 115 left. I really don't think about it that far out, it does make it hard when everyone around you is going home pretty much the rest of the year! I have the 4ID guys leaving, then their replacement MP's at the end of Dec some time. Its just a lot of moving for one station to handle and sucks I'm the only one here! I will be getting one more of my guys but not really sure how long I will be in Fenty due I personnel so we will see. I have made a decision to go commission! Going officer is the better decision I am hopping I can go direct commission but will go OCS if need be. Well work has to be done I will post again soon

My 4ID guys are leaving

Today starts the long 3 weeks of the active MP's leaving, all my MP's are going home! It's bitter sweet. On one hand I'm glad they are leaving an going to be home with their families, on the other that means I'm gonna have to train more soldiers to do a job for around a month. I got to know these guys and there really cool. I have been lucky to be able to meet a bunch of NCO's on this deployment that have ha a big impact on me as a soldier. MSG Shaw was a great guy who told it how it was and didn't take any shit! He is a lot like me can't stan stupidity especially in a war zone. Gonna miss him and all his funny sayings, but shit moves on an slowly I will be getting new guys and see what the army and this deployment has in store for me. Yesterday was my 28th birthday, the last 2 I have missed due to training and deployment. You would think I would be used to it can't count the amount of stuff I have missed due to the military. It sucks but family makes it ok with all the love shared and I am thankful for them.

Halfway there

So I'm almost at the half way mark for the deployment. Things are starting to get really crazy, with personnel changes and stuff like that. I think it's just we are all home sick and we are all tired. I know I am! I am set to reenlist at the end of this month for six years and that would make me a career soldier. After the so years that would almost give me 20 and that's the magic number then full retirement and no worries. Can't forget the incentive to stay in this shitty unit is 15,000 big ones so I guess it's true money talks! It comes at a great time with krystina not working and going to school full time we came pay off the car and save for the year or so she is in school, and I will be able to fix up my truck without worrying about paying the bills. One other thing is I got a coin from a Special Forces group for doing their customs inspection! It's pretty bad ass and I am going to get coins to give people for helping out the 539th MP while being here I will put up pics of both. Well guys take care and I will write soon

October already!!

So it's October and things are going ok, just feels like I'm doing the same shit day after day. I am the only one from my unit that is here and that's gonna be changing soon with the 4ID. Guys leaving soon. I am pushing to he one of the most knowledgable MP's in the unit back here. Also, my contract is up and I'm in my window to reenlist. I am thinking of doing a 6 year extension and that would almost put me at 20 an I will be able to pay for the majority of Krystinas school and fix my truck up when I get back. I will just be stuck as an MP for at least 3 years in my unit unless I promote out of it(that's in the works) I am working on a waiver to get me promoted to E-7 so that would be good. Well I have an early morning so I will write more tomorrow! Take care.
