LaRhonda,
Just wanted to take a moment to let everyone I've met at the last two
reunions know that I have made it to Iraq. Yes, back in uniform, desert
camo, but with a "DA Civilian" patch over my left pocket instead
of US Army. Will be here for 6 months, until Apr 04, and hope to have
news and stories from the front to share at the Ft. Benning reunion
in June. Been deployed
for 2 weeks now and have put in about 100 hours overtime (nice benefit
of being a civilian). Working on V Corps staff in Baghdad, but manage
to get out of the office and play road warrior to Balad and other locations
regularly. Safe compound where I'm at but hear the distinctive crack
of AK-47s once or twice a day and some mortars from about 1/2 to 3/4
miles
away. Road time is sometimes tense. The reality here is far different
than what you are seeing on the news, just as it was in Vietnam. If
anyone cares to write please feel free. I will answer as time allows
when not supporting our troops in the only way I know how.
