FOB Smart at 1900 - Saturday
Another day has passed and I feel very much like I am ready to come home for a few weeks of R&R. I spent a better part of today packing and moving my office into a storage container so that the electrical rewiring my office and quarters can occur during my time away this month. I have more to pack and move tomorrow. Since I have already packed my office furniture and most of my computer peripherals, it appears that our previously routine movie night will be happening in Capt Jonathan Ball's room, along with CPT Daniel Simon Leonard, TSgt John Morgan, TSgt Israel Garcia, and Craft.
I spoke with K&K this morning; they made it safely to Utah where they will be staying until Monday. They will then head south to Phoenix and stay with my parents. Then they will head to New Mexico where we will all be staying with my brother and sister-in-law for two weeks. I am so stoked for this, I cannot even tell you how much.
Life has resumed here at FOB Smart and is beginning to return to normal after a trying six days. We have major construction planned. I enjoy the construction management piece of my job immensely. The rest of the "excitement" is obviously less desirable.
Tonight I was presented with a Civilian of the Month award for June 2011, which I am told was selected from over 300 civilians. The award is from the 466th Air Expeditionary Group out of Camp Phoenix, Afghanistan, which is our commanding unit, for all US Air Force Provincial Reconstruction Teams, in Kabul. It is nice to be recognized.
143, K&K.
Good night and good day.
