Well,
a few months have gone by now, comin up on halfway thru my tour out here. Kinda crazy that I'm almost halfway. Alas, I can't wait for it to be over. There is just too much about the USA and Virginia specifically that I love. To name a few, my family, church, friends, grass, pianos, chipotle, beer, regular weather, leaves, trees, freedom. Ha. I don't mean to ramble nostalgically into oblivion. But, sometimes I do that anyway.
Life here is pretty settled now. Flying on a regular schedule, which is fun. It makes the days go by really fast, but it adds more difficulties. Only eating one meal a day now, so that's no good.
If you would, pray for the base, and other bases in and around Afghanistan. War never takes a holiday...so when Christmas rolls around, we expect a good number of attacks. Just keep the bases in your thoughts and prayers.
If anyone still reads this, please somebody thank whoever sent the box of stuff for Christmas. I'm not sure who orchestrated that, and I'll have to thank everyone who sent cards/gifts personally when I get back, but thank you whoever sent that, hopefully somehow you hear that I'm really grateful haha.
I really miss my pianos. It's painful at this point. And I miss sports. Haven't been able to play any basketball since I started on night shift in Oct. When I get back, I hope to play sports every single day cuz I'm dying of pent up energy.
Hmm...can't really think of anything else to write. Oh, pray for the Pakistan Border situation. cool thanks.
Ben
