Hi Everybody!

Hello Everybody! Well, it been a little while since I've sent out an update, and for that I apologize. Life in Kuwait has been very busy! We don't mind, though, it makes the time go by faster! We are getting ready to wrap things up here, and I am hoping that I will be posting from home soon. If you have a good catch phrase for the blog, let me know!

Now, how about some news.......

U.S. Navy Customs Battalion Sierra, Alpha Company "Minnesota Mafia"

I recently received a U.S. flag from Jean, of Prior Lake. The flag came with a scrap book of all of the places she had taken the flag. I have not seen the book yet, but am very much looking forward to seeing it! The Minneapolis area is well represented out here, and we recently took a photo (above) with the U.S. Navy Customs Battalion Sierra, Alpha Company "Minnesota Mafia" and the flag from Jean. Thank you so much for your support!

The Chapel Crew: Bruce, yours truly, Mike, Chris, Jo, Chris, Jinger, Eric, and Ramirez.

As the end of our deployment to Kuwait draws to an end, I would like to take a moment to send out some kudos to the Camp Arifjan Chaplin Corps, (Chaplin) MAJ Moore, and all of my friends who kept me company at church each week. You guys are awesome! You folks made the time away from home a lot easier, thank you! I will miss our Sunday lunches at the "Oasis Outback", especially the Chaplin mandated trip to the "health" (ice cream) bar.

Well, I guess that's it for now!
