Army Life!

This is my first time blogging but I thought I would start since alot of people I know are doing the same thing. I might be able to get more responce from this than e-mails too. My own wife blogs here and does it more often than e-mails. Well as most of you know I am in Afghanistan and the weather here is around 140+ and it is not even the hottest summer months here. I have been busy up until now and the time seemed to go by fast. My job is a gunner on what we call an M-RAP which looks like a monster truck. But I love to stand up in the gunners hatch and see all the beeautiful sights in Afghanistan. The people are for the most part nice around here and I have been safe thus far. I also have been working out alot on my time off and have lost over 40lbs. I am very proud of that and hope to come home a new man and keep up the fitness. I will post pictures on here at a later date. Thr=ere is alot of things to do here on my time off. The MWR is for the soldiers to go and play games. They have 2 pool tables, ^ big screen tvs with playstation 2s and xobox 360s. They also have a computer and phone room the internet is free but the phones you have to buy a card forwhich cvomes out to 4 cents a min. We also have a basketball court and a volleyball court and on the ANA(Afgan National Army)side they play soccer which I play too. The chow here is good and all the snacks you could ever want 24 hours a day and it is free for us. I miss my wife and daughtervery much and can not wat till I start home around Thanksgiving time and home in time for Christmas. Well I hope to keep this updated daily but you never know what could happen over here. Love to all my family and friends that supported me and even the ones how don't I still love you too. I miss you all and will retun in a few months.
