The other day I walked outside and looked in ahead of me, in the distance was a mountain. I turned to my left and there was a mountain. I turned to my right and there was mountain. Looked behind me and guess what I saw...a mountain. Looked on the ground and there are dirt and rocks. Looked at the sky and its cloudy and gray. Those are just some of daily things I see when I walk outside here. I'm not happy here and I'm ready to leave this place. Theres nothing to look forward to, you cant look forward to the weekends because you're working. When I get off from work I do nothing but eat exercise and  then sleep. When I'm at work there's really nothing to do, because I work the late shift 11pm-7am and everybody's gone, so I have to do is really just make sure our link stays up and guard the equipment because we do have secure items that not everybody can have access to. Even with all that I try to make my days count instead of counting days. (Although I do know I have 58 days until R&R.)

I definitely want to say thank you for the care packages that were received this past month, they were enjoyed. It means alot know you thought about me.


The picture you see is my team I feel I should introduce you to them since they are pretty much my family while I am here. The white guy you see is our Team Chief, Sgt Chris Bell he's from Oakland, California. To his left is Spc. Roy Lee Holmes he is from Augusta, Georgia. To the right of him is my roommate PV2 Jeremy Johnson he is from Fayetteville, North Carolina. You all know me. Finally the lady of the team is Spc Felisha Wade and she is from Plain Dealing, Louisiana. All from different places but here in Afghanistan together. I ask you continue to pray us and every soldier fighting in this war.

Countdowns and Countups:
Time is Afghanistan: 144 Days
Time until R&R: 58 Days
Time until Redeployment back to Hawaii: 221 Days
