Your job is dangerous and yet like you said Mike about sleeping in till noon... you jumped right out of bed w/ out hesitating 1 sec. Drop me a line Mike… you have my myspace & email. Hey here’s a big FFUUUUCCCKKKKK YAaaaaaaaa….. ;-) Who was that guy that said that every waking sec of the day??? ;-) Oh and BTW we jsut had a big ass earthquake here too in Honduras 7.1!!! it was neat as hell to feel the earth move like we were on a boat for over 2 minutes!

They lost 3 today to a svbied on a convoy to Bagram. The gunner survived and he is doing well considering the situation. I talked to him today at the ICU, we had a quick prayer. Keep up the good work Mike and yes you can keep the jackets!! All who read Mike’s blog please say a prayer for the families of our brothers and sister from PRT Panjshir.

It does not seem like it since you left for San Antonio that first time. Good God a lot of water has passed under the bridge since then! Reading the other comments I think a book would be a good idea and I know you have the talent to do that. This blog (when udated) has been very interesting. I know from our private messaging that it has not always been an enjoyable thing to continue. Hope the time glides on by and you get home _HOME_ to NC. This being Memorial Day let me say Thank You for your service to our country. Look forward to a visit with you. Dave and Maci say hello. Eleven years?

My pen pal who is stationed in Afghanistan thinks he may be heading home about 4 months earlier than planned in order to make room for all the new folks headed your way. Hope the same happens for you. Get yourself stateside in one big safe piece! Then start school and blog all about what it's like to be an x-air force dude in school. :) We’ve missed you but glad to know you are well.

Nine months will go by before you know it. The weather is finally warming up here in OK. We spent Saturday at the lake with kayaks and our catamaran. There was not enough wind for the cat, but we did some biking around the lake. Jesse shot some funny video of our trip over at www.skybag.blogspot.com if you have time for silliness. Someday, we would like to drag the kayaks down to the Guadalupe - maybe when you get home this fall... On the downhill side with only nine months to go – that all sounds good.
