        <media:text type="html"><![CDATA[ Heavens! Another update in the span of a week, let's see how long I can keep this up. <br />Slowly but surely the pace is starting to pick up here, which is a good and a bad thing. On the one hand it was kind of nice to not be in the driver's seat for a while, but ultimately I want to get to work, and that's tough to do when you're not the unit in charge.<br />The biggest issue at the moment is space, or rather the lack of it. I'm living in a room with 2 other Majors, which isn't really a huge deal, but there are a lot of other people that are only two to a room. I was fine with it, because we had a day room, so I didn't need much space. The problem  ]]></media:text>

Typically it's 114-120 here, unless the humidity is high, then the temperature is just shy of the surface of the sun. (I am very near the coast, so high humidity occurs more often then I'd like)<br /><br />This is the result of two years of waiting and planning and I have to say I'm fairly happy about it. More on that in a minute.<br /><br />Fort MCCoy, the location I was at for the last two months previous was decent, but the access to internet was horrendous, worse then dial up.

        <media:text type="html"><![CDATA[ Happy Mother's Day!<br /><br />I think it's fair to say Mom's generally don't get the credit they deserve. Given that it's Mother's day on Saturday I did the most practical thing a guy could do on Mother's day for his wife. I let her get out of the house, far out of the house, a couple hundred miles actually, in Chicago. Now, partly this was because my sister was having her bachelorette party, but I'll take some credit as when she asked if I'd mind if she went by giving her a strong message. GO! So she's out having fun with the girls in the windy city and I'm back home managing two precocious kids. It's a lot like being a Drill Sergeant, with a little  ]]></media:text>

Therefore the last few days have caused considerable joy for me.<br />It started on Saturday when my kids asked to watch the Anime TV show Slayers. As my Austin crew can tell you this is one of my favorite anime shows of all time. How do they know this? I subjected the poor gents to 1 and a half seasons of it. I say subjected as it's more of a kid's show then some of the more serious anime fair. They soldiered through it, good friends that they are. I exposed my kids to it years ago, but they weren't really into it. However, there seems to ]]></media:text>

It&#146;s not like I haven&#146;t had the content to write about either. This past month has been a veritable smorgusborg of events, which in retrospect seem entirely too much to have in just one blog. So, instead of rehashing things in the past I am going to push forward, ignoring (or trying to) the fact that I missed out on more than one amusing opportunity.<br /><br />So, what is interesting at the moment?

The way he tells it he only got his current license to get residency in the state he plans to live in once the deployment is over. All well and good I think. But we're short on drivers so I figure that that he should start driving. I figure I'll be an evil genius and MAKE him drive, thus improving his confidence level. This was probably not the wisest decision I've ever made.<br /><br />The short 20 minutes it took to get from the barracks area I felt like I lost a good year off my life.

During my first deployment I wasn&#146;t really keyed into all the operations that were going on. Part the reason was because we weren&#146;t doing a lot, and partly because I didn&#146;t realize I NEEDED to be. I figured public affairs lives in the public realm rite?

That said I always get the feeling there are better men then I to do jobs that I have done and am doing. I often get an overwhelming sense of mediocrity when looking at my own work. I suppose it's not too different from what an artist feels when reviewing past projects. Oddly enough I often find myself excelling in areas I think I should fail and failing in areas I think I should excel. This has led to certain disconnects that I won't get into (musings for another time). Currently I feel good. I enjoy my current job. I'm having fun mentoring junio ]]></media:text>

        <media:text type="html"><![CDATA[ Gah. Another birthday deployed. I've lost track of how many Birthdays I've had in the field, and I know I'll prolly have a few more since I plan on staying in the Guard. So what's new? Not a lot. We haven't been hit by mortars since that last attack (quickly knocks on wood) and the relative quiet has most of us on edge, waiting for the other shoe to drop. We've developed a bit of a rep in theatre. I guess everybody thinks Scania is dangerous. Personally I think that's ridiculous, but it's neat to have the 'rep' for however brief a time.<br /><br />Moral is...well let's say it isn't high.

Being completely cut off though means something different, and if you recall earlier in the deployment the last time it happened my unit had a KIA. That happened again early Thursday morning. The base was attacked by rockets, 81mm and 120mm mortars, from multiple teams and at the same time we had a patrol attacked as well. In total we had one KIA from the 1-125, 1 civilian KIA, and 11 wounded, many of whom are in Germany now.<br /><br />A few of you HAVE heard from me in the last 24 hours in an offic ]]></media:text>

        <media:text type="html"><![CDATA[ Ok so here's something you probably wouldn't expect from a bunch of battle hardened veterans; the number of guys with stuffed animals. Recently Lisa sent me a small little bear for valentines, and the little guy has a permanent position next to my pillow. Now, given some of my other eccentricities (*cough* anime) this prolly surprises no one, but here's the thing, a LOT of guys over here have stuffed animals, a surprising number, and guys I NEVER would have expected to own something like that. In fact I'm not sure some of these guys were ever even children, much less had toys. I'm convinced one of them started shaving the day he was born. I'm ]]></media:text>

The subject came from a storm we had a few days ago. Wind picked up and we had lightning and rain, the whole works. Here's the thing though, imagine a REALLY bad lightning storm at home. You sit in your house thinking, wow it looks pretty bad out there. Maybe you hear the house creak a bit, if you have an old house, but otherwise that's it. Now imagine that same storm in a TENT.

        <media:text type="html"><![CDATA[ So my DSN line is down. For those of you who have never dealt with the military, DSN is our telephone network. It is completely separate from the normal network, which is nice if you live on post, because calling to the states is FREE. As it is I can still call the states and then use a calling card on the cheap, so I'm happy. Unfortunately it's down. So no calling home for me tonight. I'm not terribly surprised, I've lost count of how many times I've been cut off calling home, or worse, have been unable to call home on a particular day. Ah the joys of international calling.<br /><br />Hope everyone had a happy Thanksgiving weekend! I got to call home  ]]></media:text>

        <media:text type="html"><![CDATA[ Time for another update. <br />Yesterday was Labor day. Holidays during deployments are always odd, mainly because we don't focus on them as much as we do when back home. It's interesting how things like that lose some of their importance when not amplified by the media. I'm not saying the holiday isn't imortant, but you tend to focus more on what the holiday means instead of the fanfare. That said, Labor day was pretty cool here since MWR set up a 'Splash Day' for us. There were water pistols, water ballons and launchers, a couple of pools (water holding tanks), a mudd pit and a GIANT dunk tank. All the commanders got dunked. Obviously that was  ]]></media:text>

I'm glad she was here, I think we'll get some good coverage, and I'm very very very glad she left. I get to enjoy her company again when she visits in September. Truly, I cannot wait. I learned a couple things though, one: There is a worse word then 'Press'. What is that word you ask? It's 'Press Officer'. That's how I was described with slight disdain by the aforementioned reporter to her friend back in the UK. What's the other thing you ask?
