i wrote them regularly their entire deployment and now they’ve returned and i get to see them in person; WAY better than snail mail. the return of 864th enbn brought me my best friend and my fiance, whom then became my husband.
nowmy next hope is that while i am in Iraq, i get sent mail regularly.

i bought my camera almost exactly 1 year ago en i first got to AIT, back when 10 megapixels was cool. since then i have captured many memories and frozen some of my moments in time. definitely a habit i don’t want to quit any time soon.
i think everyone who isn’t Amish should have a camera.
this week was range week and though it left me sore damn near everywhere it was awesome!
i love the smell of gunpowder now and was so happy that i got to play with three different weapons systems this week.
Wednesday was 249 training and i got put on ammo detail so i got to handle rounds all dayand shoot off the excess at the end of the day.
Thursday the entire company qualified on the M16s and i did way better than i ever have before; i qualified with Sharpshooter!
Friday was the M2 range. I qualified on the Ma Duece during my practice round and then i shot off an extra box of ammo into a tank and blew the door off.
that was fun!
i came home covered in mud and gun powder. i loved it.
