Now that our unit has been home for almost two weeks… it seems that folks are starting to settle back into their normal routines. I bumped into Sievering (one of our very good mechanics) and Smitty as I was leaving a convenience store the other day… and both appeared to be doing well. Later that evening… I ran into Big Mo at an area restaurant… and he informed me that he had already picked up a new truck from Boom Boom.
So even with the changes in weather (rather dramatic for us… to say the least) and job descriptions… the transition back to civilian life seems to be moving along. And with changes… I intend to (obviously) make some adjustments to this blog. My future intent is to use this forum to address any veteran’s issues or stories that need to be told… from readjusting to being back home… to health concerns… and probably anything else that pops up. It’s really more of a continuation of the deployment process… only now focusing mostly on the back end of things.
Finally… I want to send a big THANK YOU to Shiloh Woolman (website administrator of ketv.com) for all of her assistance in setting up and running this blog… as well as many thanks to my co-workers at Channel 7 who provided viewers with regular updates on the activities of the 755th Chemical Company. Of course… a round of thanks also goes out to the readers of The Lieutenant’s Lounge. I deeply apprecriate the many kind comments that were forwarded and am flattered and humbled to have had the opportunity to compose the blog postings. Merry Christmas to each of you… and best wishes for you and your families in 2008!
