well, its finally happened. Someone i trained here has been killed. Its the first guy i remember anyway. Not too sure how to feel about it. Sad of course, but not sure if its really cuz i kinda knew him, or just the fact that another American Soldier was killed. Which of course, set me to thinking about all the boys i know that are over there and the ones that i have known that got themselves killed. This brings the total to 6 at least. Im afraid there might be more, but i really dont know if i have the emotional energy to look through all the names to find out. Its heavy enough of a load just looking at the 1500+ names.
There is an Afghan civilian here helping us train the rotational unit. He reminds me of my soldier from Italy and Iraq. I was emailing him, but havent heard from him for a little bit, kinda making me nervous. Im going to email him as soon as im done with this. Hope he is just on leave from Afghanistan and not hurt or killed.
A buddy from ANCOC sent me the newspaper clipping from the service they held for Rice back in Kansas.
Well, time for me to get to dinner. Hope you all are well.
