HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!

RANDOM PICTURE DAY

An age old tradition in the military is mail call.  It has long been the source of a soldier’s motivation, waiting daily for that time to come.  It is around 1500 everyday, and that varies of course depending on if the planes weren’t delayed, and the trucks are on time.  Many of you have been a [...]

My friend (1LT Pete Woreck, the one who was recently in the Beaver Dam Daily Citizen) in Afghanistan goes about keeping people informed a little bit different.  Instead of a blog, periodically, he will send out an update of what is happening in his deployment.  Of course, you have to be on his e-mail list, [...]

The September issue of the Coalition Chronicle is today’s feature.  Check out the article on the Flintstone Palace on pages 1-3.  I have talked about this place a couple of times.  You will see what they are doing with it now.  Also, on page 18 and 19 you will find an article on our own 364th Civil Affairs [...]
