I'm starting to miss my internet. I'm stranded away from my platoon this week, doing the guard duty that all of us get stuck with at some point. I'm continuing to write on my personal computer, but it's difficult to get online, and often harder still to connect to Blogger. Basically, in my own long and rambling way, I'm excusing myself from consistent posting for a week or so. We'll see what happens.
Also, as readers of Badgers Forward know, I got my promotion to Specialist several days ago. That was a nice bright spot in the week for me, as I've been waiting for it for a long time. Add that to the Combat Action Badge I was awarded not too long ago, and my uniform is starting to get heavy. Don't worry- I'll try not to fall in any canals.

ReplyDeleteCongratulations TD! It's nice to know that the worthy are getting their rewards.
ReplyDeleteSham Shield! Congrats, just refrain from the urge to be the Command Specialist Major.
ReplyDeleteRead in Badger's about the guy who got hit. That sucks. My pal from Ft. Stewart got it in Falluja, and another guy I knew for years drowned when their HMMWV went into a canal.
If you guys or the TF that soldier belongs to need anything, let me know. snivel gear, stuff from home, whatever.
stay safe.

Congrats on the promotion! Must be that teflon that kept it from sticking sooner. Big thanks to all you military boggers for taking the time to keep us up on what's happening.
ReplyDeleteBravo Zulu (Navy Speak for good work!) on your promotion and your CIB!
ReplyDeleteMay St. Ignatius of Loyola, Patron Saint of Soldiers, Founder of the Jesuits, intercede for you and all your fellow soldiers, to our Lord on your behalf for your safety.
If there is anything I can send you guys from Stateside, email me from my blog a list amd your unit address.
Not that I expect you to be able to tell us much about your job, but clearly you are good at it
