• A good Video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AgYLr_LfhLo&feature=player_embedded #
• I went to my regular weekly training meeting today at 1pm.. Walked out of the meeting at 6:30pm.. WTF!? #

How do you know a deployment is getting close? Words like “Family time,” half days,” etc start getting pushed about.

• Best thing I have heard in a while, "On the sand, or on the sea, if you want to live, drink your pee." Thanks Man, Woman, Wild! #

• Finally back home! I love the Alaskan Wilderness, just not the "work" portion that takes the fun out of it. #

• The word for next week: FLEXIBILITY, not Frustration. Remember that, me! #

• Smoke from the fires! Its gonna be raining ash soon. Something is always falling from the sky here. http://yfrog.com/mry3iaj #
• I guess moose need baths too. http://yfrog.com/5hahkj #

• Watched Army Wives, very realistic. A SPC just reduced a dislocation w/o pain meds and a CPT did after care (slinging Injury) IN WHAT ARMY!? #
• Yea, same show that the army deployed an entire division ( incl. Garrison commander) in a week. My wife hates it when I watch w/ her… Lol #
• RT @wilw Yep, this about covers it: http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2009/5/1/. It's GCI Customer Support! Thanks Wil! (and I only get 8Mb) #
• Nothing like landing on a lush green fields at 6500 feet and seeing Dall Sheep, glaciers, beautiful peaks, and smelling the cold Arctic Air. #
• I love the Remote iPhone app. If it would only control more than just iTunes. Playing music from upstairs mac downstairs using iPhone. #
• It is sad that there is so little worth watching on TV that my 47" LCD sits turned off, while we pump music through the house instead. #

Thought I would share a few pictures from my flight the other day. These were taken at about 6500 feet when we landed on a little plateau. The area had a herd of Dall Sheep on it, but they ran down the mountainside out of view before I could get any pictures.

• Little Girls and Slumber Parties…… AAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!!!! #
• Alaskan Life: Sitting downtown in mid-July to watch a parade, IN SWEATERS. #
• It's Eskimo Elvis!! http://yfrog.com/jum1mhj #

Back to the war zone for a third time in what will be 5 years by the time this tour is over.

I do know when and where, but I will leave it at that for now.
