Today I observed progress on certain upgrades to an Afghan government compound involving security, walls, foundations, footings, etc. It is always interesting for me to walk out amongst the Afghan people with our security and my engineering and construction counterparts. Never a dull moment for certain! Today was uneventful needless to say...
I spoke with K&K and Dad and Viviane this morning (their last night). I am going to try my momma tonight. One of my nephews, he is also named Leyton, graduated from high school this past Saturday. I am so amazed that my siblings have young adult children in college and heading into military service. It seems as though graduation and military entrance was just the other day for my siblings and me.
I am still working hard on my training to become and Contracting Officer's Representative (COR) and then to be appointed both a COR and Project Manager, as well as continuing my duties as a Construction Control Representative. Work is good. Work keeps the mind occupied, it makes the days seem to pass by quickly, and it brings me one step closer each day to returning to my family. In the meantime, gaining the requisite and desirable experience here will also go a long way toward future promotions and other interesting US Army Corps of Engineers opportunities and locales.
I love you, K&K. I love you, family and friends too.
Good night and good day.
