Lauren and Beth, our mission right now is convoy security patrols. We take these convoys which haul all of the food, fuel, supplies, ammunition, and other materials needed to fight a war on the crappy side of the planet. We are in gun trucks and we just escort these guys from one part of the county to the other, and protect them form the insurgents. We usually drive mostly at night because it is cooler and easier on the men and vehicles. There are worse jobs to have. Right now we just have to worry about road side bombs and a few snipers. All in all I think we are winning. I'm just ready to go home and be with my wife and kids. I had forgotten how hard it was to be away from your family for so long. It is a great sacrifice just being apart for so long. Thanks for asking girls, hope to see you soon
Carolyn, thanks for checking on my email for me. I'm really glad that the State Police continues to let us use our email while we are activated. They are very good to us. The State Police Commission just voted to pay the health insurance for our families for up to two years while we are gone. You just can't beat that. See ya, and thanks again
