Update

As you all may now I am at Mahmidhiya (MMD) conducting combat operations and am loving life right now. I am safe and doing well. Although I am now currently at camp striker going through some classes that I need to get some vehicles that my unit needs for combat ops. I have no idea how long I will be up here but I already miss life on MMD already. I arrived here last night and will start classes tomorrow. It has been pretty busy here the past 2 weeks or so. Once again I am loving it here, this is truely what I enjoy doing. I truely believe that this is my calling from GOD for what he wants me to do and work for him while I am here. The only bad thing about being over here is that I have missed my sons birthday which was the 23rd. I was able to call him and talk to him briefly. While I was talking to him he asked me if I wanted to go to chuckie cheeses with him for his bday. That probably was the hardest thing I have had to deal with since Ive been over here. I hate I had to miss is his birthday. This is the 2nd one in a row so Im gonna have alot of catching up to do when Im home. lol I love you all and miss you all very much. Hope to see yall when I get back. Stay safe and GOD BLESS!!!

Update

Hey everyone,
I have some recent updates. I have left camp stryker and am now at my home for the next 9 months. I am finally at Mahmadyiah. The living conditions here are much better then when I was in Kuwait and at camp stryker. I now have a 8 x 8 cubical that I can call home. Im loving it here, we have everything we need, but unfortunately I havent gotten internet on my computer as there is noway to get cash here on the FOB (Forward Operating Base). So i have to wait until finance comes down so I can get cash. Thats the only thing that stinks. lol Chow is good and everything else is great. I just got back from my first mission and I really enjoyed it. I hope everyone is doing well. I love yall and miss yall bunches.

Im ok

Hey everyone,
I just wanted to let everyone know that I am ok and was not involved in the shooting that happend a few days ago on Camp Liberty. Yes Camp Liberty is ab 5 mins from where I stay in Camp Stryker, but I wasnt in the area at the time of shooting. I did hear the some gun shots around the time it happend but I hear them alot here. I also did see the emergency personnel responding as well. Please keep the families of the 5 victims in your prayers. I love you all and miss you all very much. GOD BLESS!!!

Change to my address

Hey everyone
Just thought that I would post an update to my status. As of right now Im still on Camp Stryker waiting for some MRAP vehicle training. I was suppose to have class today and tomorrow but didnt have the right certificates to get into the class. So i have to take a refresher class starting on tuesday if they can get us in. Since I have arrived here on stryker we havent done anything but just sit around and watch movies and be lazy. lol So i have caught up on alot of sleep and much needed relaxaiton. But at the same time Im ready to get to my base and get to work. Who knows when that will be. Also I have an update to my address. It turns out that our base does have a post office after all go figure. I hope everyone is doing well and I miss and love yall very much. GOD BLESS and enjoy this wonderful day. Ohh by the way Happy Mothers Day to all the mothers out there (Mama, Mom, Brooke, Bekkah, Kindra, Courtnee, Tyra, and everyone else Im sorry if I didnt name I love yall just as much)

Sitting in Iraq

Hey everyone,
I have made into Iraq safetly and currently am at Camp Stryker jsut south of Baghdad. This camp is alot bigger than the camp I was at in Kuwait. The word is that we are going to be here for ab 10 days for training on the vehicles we are getting then moving down to our base further south. But just like everything else in the army, things are subject to change. Since we have gotten to camp stryker we havent done anything but catch up on sleep and watch movies. So there is a lot of down time. Depends on ho you look at it that could be good or bad. lol I will do another post when I arrive at my base camp. I hope everyone had a great weekend and is getting off to a great week. The weather here is very hot so we are trying to stay out of it as much as possible. lol I love you all and miss you all very much. GOD Bless!!!
