Our group is so big we had to split in half for Phase 4 training. Thus I am hanging out this week doing shelf checks at the BX and diving into my Body For Wife gym program. We start our training next week and conclude with a 100 question test.
This is the rainy season and once again the base is a soggy soup of mud. You get used to it after a while and forget about the mud streaks on your pants and tracking gravel and mud everywhere. This place is still better than when I left it in 2004 which keeps me happy.
I now have a mailing address:
Maj Mark Stoller
MNC-I / TF Troy / JCCS-1
APO AE 09342-1400
I am not in needof anything, but have never been known to pass up brownies or chocolate chip cookies. :) Letters will also make my day too!
For the first time, in the 5 days we've been here, we watched as 3 mortars dropped in on the base. Most likely 62 or 84mm. The third one landed near the palace with a deep thud and grey smoke. All necessary units were dispatched. We'll get the skinny on it later and will go exploring the 1/4 mile down the road to see the damage. Life in a combat zone.
