To The Back of the Bus

I just have a minute. The internet's been up and down and combined with the heavy work pace lately it's been difficult to post. It seems like I can't buy a break.

It's been decided that the Apache people from SC are moving and we, the Blackhawk people form TN are staying here. Our new owners will be the 101st Airborne Division. These guys are Apache guys too but maybe they'll take better care of us than our current owners. It can't be much worse. Because of the move (it will take place pretty quickly) we are consolidating all of the Blackhawk people and assets. Pretty much, the 101st is taking over our operational areas to include our living containers.

It seems the SC guys weren't able to handle their mission so they're being sent to the "back of the bus". We, the Blackhawk people, are doing well as far as our missions go and the 101st wants to keep us on the front lines with them.

That's about all of the detail I can give up to this point. For now I'll have to wait until the dust settles. Don't be surprised if my posts become infrequent in the short term.

My mom's 62nd birthday would have been today. I miss her dearly and she is heavy on my heart today. I hope she knows that!

That's all for now.

From somewhere in Northern Iraq, Happy Birthday mom!
