Well despite the “southern snow storm” (less than an inch which preemptively closed schools the day before) we are ready to leave for JRTC. Even thought this post is via my Centro, it will be staying at the office and I’ll be going dark for the next 24 days. So don’t expect replies or posts, and don’t fill my inbox!!!

This will be the longest that Britt and I will have gone without talking. Needless to say she is less than thrilled. But she has been invaluable in helping me get ready, to include driving all the LT’s to work this morning so we can leave our cars at home!

Thingshave already started as a Charlie Foxtrot and I have yet to hear anything promising about the future. It looks like in a month we’ll spend 5 days actually shooting (howitzers). Apparently the JRTC cadre is also under the impression that we won’t have communications in country, hence the cell phone ban.

The only other breaking news is that i’m still waiting for a surgery date. The doc is supposed to have it scheduled at the end of the month to take place sometime mid February.

Ok, blogging on a smart phone is pretty sweet, but my thumbs are getting raw…

Adios civilian world and January 2010!
