"let me see your war face"

I am now a trained warrior on the M9 service pistol and the M16 semi-automatic rifle. That's a scary thought. All 5'4", 120lbs of pure attitude with a gun! Things are going very well. I'm just starting to get really beat with the "high-speed" training that we are doing, but I'm own the down slope for that level and now on to combat skills training. Once that is complete, we will have a much needed break from the hard stuff until we leave the states. We have a photographer with my group, so hopefully in the near future once I get into country and get a laptop or more available internet access I will post some pictures. Obeying all rules for OPSEC of course.

My Own Hero....I really appreciate all the well-wishes and support. I hope you are enjoying active duty and you get to see some sand time too!! I haven't been able to check in on you in awhile, so I expect to see some outstanding posts when I'm back up and running!

Hi!
You dont know me, but I am my own hero's other half.
He has been sitting on post for a couple weeks now, getting sick of the mundane bs that comes along with waiting, as I am sure you know how that goes.
He will be going to his unit on Tuesday, and then coming back here to get the family.
On another note, will be seeing his sand time, within the next few months. He will need all the support he can get.
I hope that your training is going well, and not kicking your butt too much.

Another thing..you can check my blog for updates on him in the furture (when he deploys) because I dont know how often he will be able to post once that happens

Ashleigh,

I really appreciate the update on your other half. I will check in with you to see how you both are doing while he is away. Hang in there.
