Hello All,
This has been another week that has flown by. We are getting closer and closer to wrapping up the training phase in the states. A couple pics of interest: The bottom left is from the turn in facility where we inspect vehicles for turn in. The last day I was there, a stryker unit was shipping out vehicles for a training exercise....it was pretty cool to see them all lined up. There are interesting looking vehicles...what is wierd that they are even more quiet than our trucks. The picture of the sticker is pretty much the symbol for the 34th Infanty Division "Red Bulls".....I have put up countless amounts of those stickers on all of our shipping containers (placed on all four sides). The last picture is of my squad leader, Jason, posing next to the air filter from the fork lift we are using from Ft Lewis.....that was the dirtiest air filter I have ever seen, litterally. We are not assigned to maintain the forklift, but needed to troubleshoot why is was running hot.....it turn out when there is little to no air flow it doesnt want to run right. We have most of our vehicles turned in and there is not much work at the shop left other than clean up. We have had a couple half days at work and is nice to be rested up for the pass we will get. I plan on spending some time in Seattle having a fun time. The next hurdle for me is to get all the of the gear that they have issued me packed up....this will be quite a feat. That is all for now...I am sure I will have some more time in the next couple of days to add another post.
'Till next time,
Sam
Gosh,Sam it was good to read you this a.m.
ReplyDeleteHope your leave is all you would wish for. I know Jess is excited to be flying out. Your mom & dad will enjoy the grandkids too, and your mom will have cookie eaters.
We are still having winter here. I seems we only have two seasons in Minnesota anymore. Just summer & winter.
Did not win at Bingo last night. We had a hugh turnout as the Mega was over $30,000 and the cover-all was $700. We have a Hoffman walleye fish fry tonight at the Community Center done up by the volunteer fire dept. They run from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. and it will be a money maker for them.
The Wellness Center has been signed up by Silver Sneakers (Medica/Humana Insurance) so we will be very busy. Maybe I'll have to cut back on my Monday/Tuesday & Friday card playing. Ha! (Good to be busy....Gramps is missing out on so much.) LOVE, Gramjo
Cool picture of Stryker's, they look like beefed up Wisconsin Dells Ducks - the ones that Mom likes to drive :)
