My office and Mud House pictures

Here are some pictures of my current office area. I know it looks sad but not to worry the new office is being built. I will probably move into there in mid-March. For now this is where it all happens. 2 computers and screens makes me seem important but I am not. It just means I get more emails. One is for Secret stuff and the other is a standard computer. I share the office with 3 others. Luckily they are willing to listen to Patty Labelle, Prince, and Beyonce. Good to outrank everyone - LOLOLOL!

Here are some pictures from Cigar night at the Mud House. These are the two providers for the clinic.

CPT Cole, who is a funny thoughtful doctor. You should see how she interacts with the patients. She is new to the Army so it is really fun to get her perspective on things. You can tell from the photo she doesn't smoke cigars but I think she was taking the picture that will end up on her Christmas card this year. She joined the Army during a war. How brave is she?

This is Major Rider, the physician assistant. He has been in the Army as long as I have been. I call him the "fun sucker" because he is always thinking about what could go wrong in a situation. He is really funny and smart. His experience gives him the leg up in our office. He has seen alot but is willing to try new things. I told him anytime he comes to Texas he has someone who will buy him a beer.

This is Command Sergeant Major Hunt. She is the top enlisted Soldier in the 115th CSH. Her birthday was in November and as a present I got her the fattest cigar I could find. She flew up to Taji to visit this week and brought her cigar. So I made her climb on the roof with me and light up. It was really funny until I realized she might get dizzy and might have problems climbing back down. That is all I would need is to hurt the CSM. I would be beaten. LOL.

Not a bad week. If I recall I have around 185 days left in this deployment. I just have to stay alive and not get hurt for 6 more months. Not bad as you look at the whole time. I also get about 3 weeks off in about 2 weeks so that will help too. I am beginning to get used to the battery firing the rounds at night...for all my none military readers...firing rockets from really big guns. After the first one goes and I know they are starting I don't jump any more.

later...
