It’s About Time!

written by SAD — Sorry it has been so long since you’ve received an update.  S assured me that he was going to be working on the blog; however, a fiber optic cable was cut somewhere in the deep, blue sea, and internet access for him is limited.  He is unable to access the blog site.  He did send me pictures though and asked me to send them on to you. 

S and roommate CPT Sanders

S and CPT Sanders on a “forced march” — I have no idea what this means other than they wear their gear and march around the FOB.

S and SGT Martin at Christmas

 Just a really cool picture…S says flying in these things is awesome….

In army life, the spouses have “unit coffees” each month.  This is S and CPT Moreno’s version of a unit coffee at Kalsu.

There are many things that the spouses do for the unit coffees.  So far, my unit coffees have included an antique auction, a visit to a brewery, a Christmas party, and a wine/cheese tasting party.  However, this is not one of the things the spouses do at their unit coffees.  Apparently, though, S and CPT Moreno were bored with just drinking coffee, so for their December coffee.. they shaved their heads.

Now that they have done that, they are having a contest to see who can grow a mustache the fastest…if you refer back to the first picture, you’ll see that what you might have thought was dirt is actually S’s attempt to win this contest…He said that another chaplain is beating them both.

These are the guys that S socializes with the most…from left…CH (CPT) Bowman (chaplain of another battalion in 4th brigade), CPT Moreno (Bravo Company Commander, 4-3 BSTB), CH (CPT) Dennis, as himself, and CPT Sanders (S’s roommate and 4-3 BSTB battalion staff, headed for a company command position with another battalion sometime soon)

Band of Runners…
