Wow, I guess it's been over a month since I've posted! I would say shame
on me, but I don't actually feel all that guilty about it :P You would
think I would, being a female as I am, with an overdeveloped guilt complex
(which I blame almost in its entirety on you mom! It's certainly like
mother, like all of her daughters in this case) and a tiny bit on Eve,
because it's fu to blame things on Eve.
Ok, now for the "what's new" department. Nate was informed
last Friday by the guy he will be going to Sniper school with, that he is
indeed going to Sniper school. The Army, being the Army, hadn't bothered
to inform Nate through the conventional methods, nor even through his AKO
email which would have been the civil thing to do. Instead 'It' let Nate
find out through word of mouth that he was going to be leaving, which Nate
was able to confirm by actively searching through some database which I
guess had been updated to him going. You really do have to love the Army,
they teach so many good values! The will to search out and discover things
of vital interest on your own time and initiative being one of them. Many,
many thanks by the way to the guy who bothered to inform Nate; he's made
it possible for Nate to actually have some time to prepare rather than
having it just sprung on him days before he had to leave. Speaking of
leaving, it would appear, (unless our great fighting force changes its
mind on a whim, which is possible) that he'll be leaving February 24th and
getting back April something. Please pray that God does what He wants with
that whole situation.
About the whole Corporal Recruiting deal, Nate
talked to Sergeant Mabee about it, and was pretty much told that the
reason Sarg. Mabee hated it so much is because he'd been ordered about a
great deal. The hours I guess didn't faze him all that much. Neither Nate
nor I know for sure yet if he's going to try for it, the long hours being
a huge factor, although if you get right down to it he won't be gone much
more than he is now! Awful I know but depressingly true.
Many thank by the way to Miriam, Ruth, Susie, Tammy, Sean and
Abe for writing us! We both love getting your letters, and appreciate it
so much. I'm sorry I haven't been better with writing you back, but I did
want you all to know that we do love your letters and look forward to
getting them.
Also thank you so much for the recipes mom! I also received
your letter a few days ago-thank you so much for writing it, it was very,
very nice to get. :D
"And when he gets to Heaven, To Saint Peter
he will tell: "Another soldier reporting Sir, I’ve served my time in
hell."
^ Nate appreciates this line for the staggering volume of truth
it holds for those stationed at Fort Irwin, California; especially those
lucky enough, as he, to serve with men of such loyalty, courage, integrity
and honor. ;-)

Well, for all of you morbid curiosity
driven seekers, I've actually listed three of my dresses! Startling I know,
but I've actually done it. There seems to be alot of interest in them
already, so Lord willing they'll sell.
I'd like to take this opportunity to make a
remark about the average cow that seems to populate this lovely area and
it's surrounding vicinity. These cows, also referred to laughingly
as Army Wives, have an irritating propensity towards lumbering, which they
practice with a vengeance everytime an ordinary mortal happens to be unlucky
enough to fall behind one in the commissary, PX, or any other building for
that matter where it is at all possible to block the aisle. Of course,
luckily for the Army Wife (AW) they don't have to worry unless the width of
the aisle exceeds twelve feet or so (I dare anyone whose ever come in
contact with an AW to clam that as an exaggeration.), in which case they
then take their cart and thrust it in the way; if they don't have a cart, a
small (ha!) child works as well. I recall mom giving a bitter recital of the
horrors she had been made to pass through on her trip to get Shannon's
reception dinner last time we were there, all involving bovines of varying
degrees who considered it their sworn duty to all the other bovines of the
world to block the aisle with their hideously large selves, while either
staring blankly before them at the vegetables (what are those strange
looking things anyway?) or reaching in slow motion for a box of Little
Debbie's with their huge arms, fat swaying in the wind.
I'm not trying to claim that all AW are
fat, mind you. I know there are some out there that aren't.. I've even met
one! But finding an AW without extra padding is about as common as finding
one who doesn't act like a fishwife of the vulgerist sort. Their charming
tendency towards horsely screaming at their ill-behaved children in public
gives them that extra refined quality, while the language they enjoy using
has made my ears tingle more than once.
The men here are bad, that's for certain, but at
least they try on the rare occasion, the women don't even make a pretense.
If these then, these degraded, common, trashy, overweight bits of womanhood
are what's standing behind 'America's strongest', we're in trouble.
On a lighter note I talked with Lind's wife again; she's certainly the
nicest one I've met yet :)

Hum... I think the background needs a little bit of work... I'll try and
figure it out later :P
Anyway, I've put up a photo and a video; it's not much but it's a start! Just
click on the link below
to look at them :D The above photo is of us in Washington D.C. A tell tell
giveaway might be the green foliage
behind us, the likes of which is nowhere to be found at Irwin, with the
exception of the luxurious
greenery they plant in abundance about the officer's housing. (that was not
a bitter remark!)
