My Life.

I can’t post a blog without saying something about my favorite “Turd”!  My little girl is getting so pretty and getting so big she looks more like her mommy everyday.  When she looks at me with that “I Love you daddy” I melt!  She is forever going to stay my little 3 year old.

I was sitting in my room and realized that I am going insane looking at these four walls at night without anyone to talk to but my own shadow.  So I decided to adopt a pet while I’m out here!  His name is Rocky, my pet rock.  He likes to sit and watch T.V. all day and when he’s bored he likes to play “Let’s see who blinks first and he always wins!  He’s good!!!!  Sometimes he just sits there and stares at me for hours without saying a thing it's kinda creepy.

When I first arrived at the Airfield in Mosul, Iraq it hit me like a ton of bricks on the head.  What the hell I’m I doing back in this hell hole.  And the answer to that question was as clear as the night sky as I looked at the equipment.  The Tanks were damaged and the systems needed some work so off to work we went to get things in order.  But to be honest I really do not like to be out here! Below are some pictures of my room when I first got here and after I cleaned it up a little.

Yesterday I received a call from Mr. Campbell at 8:30 am asking me to meet with him at his office at 9:30 for a very important meeting.  Apparently a Field Service Representative that work for General Dynamics Lands Systems was relieved of his duties for a serious infraction that was 100% his fault.  I was called in for a meeting to let me know that I would be replacing him and that I had to meet up with the battalion commander and the rest of the support elements for the unit.  So yesterday was my first day as a FSR for General Dynamics which was pretty cool.  I spoke to the section leaders and ask them what they need as far as support and we worked out a plan of attack prior to them going out to the range and firing their tanks next week.
