yes its been a while

Wow soooo clearly it has been a while since i have posted on this blog and a lot has happened since then! For starters if any of you didn't know I am deploying to Afghanistan for a year starting in december. Because of this looming event in the horizon I have been training with my platoon/detachment (12 man group) what seems to me non stop. I am currently in FT Mcoy WI since july 9th and untill early aug. Comming up I also have my regular drill in aug and sept then will be gone most of oct for more training at ft dix then in november we begin our premobalization training right before we leave the country. Today july 20th hs been the 2nd time I have touched a PLS (which is the primary vehicle to my job in the army a big 10 wheeled truck) since my AIT training last summer funny huh? You would think I would get more stick time but oh well I did real well and impressed the others with how smothly I operated it which was nice. Also the weather here is like nothing I have ever seen before anywhere the last few days have been high 90s wth 100% humidity something I could have never imagined even after training at ft knox in KY and then ft lenardwood in MI as soon as I step out side i am sweating and the barrel of my m16 is wet its really weird.
