Hi, I've been moved again. Now I am with HHC 37th IBCT.
We have been issued new body armour and new ACU's.
So far I am "green" or "Go" at all stations.
Processing is over and now we start the real training cycle.

address now
SSG Russell Neer
HHC 37th IBCT
North Fort Hood
Fort Hood Texas 76544

I might be the only person in my platoon without a laptop. I'm using a machine at MWR waiting for the football game to begin.

I'll post whenever I get time.

Hi, I wore sound suppressors for 3 days before the test and stayed in quiet places. It helped just enough.

For the past 14 years I have had reoccuring dreams of being back in the service. Even then I always knew it could not be so but somehow in the dream I became convinced and then would wake up to find it was not so. I am still waiting to wake up and find it is all another fake out. I won't believe it till I have my new military ID card in my furry dog like paws.

Yeah I still have them but it seems it is only when I am depressed which is not often. I was in the Army for 6 years total with 2 3 year stints 10 years appart.

Hi, I am not depressed over being here, in fact I'm worried people are going to think I am goofy because I'm always smiling. It has already been mentioned I am too happy.
We drew weapons today. My new M-4 is named "BABOO X"
see you around.

I'm assuming that name comes from "my sweet baboo".

Should we be worrying about someone who names his weapon "my sweet baboo"??

Especially a crotchety batchellor who was known for living in his sister's basement, spending all his time online or hanging out in bars...

Oh wait, now that he's been issued a weapon he always has a smile on his face!

Hi,Yesterday was a very long, cold, wet, miserable day. Up at 0400 moved to zero range at 0600.Stood in rain till 1100. Zero'd Baboo X and moved to qual range. Fired my 40 rounds at 1300 (26/40 Marksman) and then stood in rain till 1700. Finally got back on truck and returned to barracks at 1900. Cleaned Baboo X till around 2100 and went to sleep. Today I had CQ from 0800 to 1200 and I return from 1800-2100. I'm going to do my laundry after I log off from here.

Ha! The boredom of garrison life.

Enjoy it.

I never did, but it seems sweet once you are in a more precarious situation.

Hi Russ. It's good to hear from you. I'll pass through your neck of the woods on my way to my neck of the woods around late June. When you end up wherever it is you end up, let me know. Maybe we can link up for a bit.

Take care.

Mike

Heh, I did in 1978. I got out and went to college. Then, like a fool, I joined the National Guard for "something different".

"Different" doesn't necessarilly mean good.On the other hand , there is something like 8,500 sailors on the ground over there, so joining the Navy isn't always the escape we think it is.

Hi, I was transfered again today. Back to HHC 1-148th. I find out tomorrow what my new job is. What really stinks is they made me turn Baboo X in. I guess I'll draw a new weapon. Oh well.

Hi Russ. What's the next one? Baboo XI? Baboo Xa?

Hang in there! I know a lot of those guys over there. They're a bunch of goofballs but they're good and they have you.

Do you have a laptop with WitP on it?

Hi, 5 more weeks till "Beer thirty" I get 4 days off starting 1500hrs 21 March. I'm going to find the local VFW. (Gatesville or Killeen) Training continues. Today after noon I go practice Call for Fire on simulator.
We escaped North Ft Hod yesturday and went to Wal-Mart (yippie) I spent $160 on movies and music (I bought all 9 Beethoven Symphonies for $10)
Boredom is a problem after hours around here. The weather changes every other day. (Cold, Rain, Warm, Rain, Cold,Warm)
39 days till the move over to theatre.
I'm learning to speak Iraqi. (I even understand a little of what is said now provided they speak slowly) I asked my sister to send me some 1st Grade books on writing Arabic. If I get good enough I can do a year active duty after the deployment teaching soldiers the 15 basic required phrases.

Well my 30 minutes on the computer is over. See you all later.
