Hello cousin,

 

 I hope all is well. Here is the latest contribution to Carlye's web page. I am including in this some of the e-mails I received from her over the past year in chronological order. The most recent is at the bottom, which we received just last week. We also received in the mail an updated 32nd mp newsletter in which they estimate a possible return date of mid to late July. We can only be optimistic if this is true. I am also adding the web address of the 32mp group where anyone can read current or past issues of the newsletters, view photos and other publications. The address is www.32mp.org

 

Sincerely,

Dad,

 

How are you doing?  I am doing okay.  I wrote you a really long e-mail the other day but....guess what.....YOU DIDNT CLEAR YOUR ACCOUNT...hint hint :)  heard you got a call from the family tree.  Don't worry I'm okay...I was there though but not extremely close to the danger.  It was pretty exciting though.  Well it has been getting pretty darn frickin hot over here.  It is so hard to sleep or just do anything at all.  I really wish we knew when we were going home.  I miss home alot.  How are things at home?  Anything cool go on.  Heard you hung out with Chad's parents for a night.  Chad said it sounded like you guys had a good time.  That's good, it's about time you guys started to get to know each other.  I talked to Janie the other day.  She is hopefully sending me some music.  Well not to push it on you, but I would like a few things for comfort if it's not too much to ask.  Oh I gotta go!  Love you!

 

Love,

Carlye

 Hey there!  Sorry it's been awhile since I have written.  We have a new operation going on so I haven't had much time to do anything because we are in the transition phase.  Other than being tired, things are still going okay.  I got the package with the camera and the Cd's.  I like all of them but the weird chick who sounds like she's drunk.  We still have fun listening to it though.  So is anything new going on?  Phoebe must have started school already I'm thinking.  I started working at the station again.  I really hate the station. It's hot, you don't get to eat much, and you're always tired.  Today I have the day off.  I didn't do too much, slept in and went to the pool.  Now I'm just trying to catch up on e-mails and cleaning.  Chad said he had a good time at the blues festival and would like to go again. So that's good!  Well I am just letting you guys know that I'm okay and was just thinking about you all.  Miss you all and will write again in a few days.

 

Love you

Subject: miss you

 

Hi mom how are you doing today?  I'm doing all right, just a little tired but things are looking up and down.  The down thing is the return looking in may, the good thing is that I work 8 hours instead of 12.  Now this May thing isn't completely official, but it's official enough to make everyone feel like crap.  I should be able to give you the official date in October.  I tried calling you guys the other day, well actually you because I haven't talked to you in almost 2 months and I miss you.  I guess I will try again tomorrow.  Not too much has happened lately.  I've done the same darn thing in the last few weeks, fun fun I know.  We are having a rat problem which people are now realizing.  I told them before we moved into the building "Where do you think the critters go when it's hot?  Someplace nice and cool, the building."  So now, there are rats of course.  The LT. chased a bunch of them out of my stuff last night.  That is just completely disgusting.  So now, I am doing a thorough sterilization of everything so there  is nothing that attracts these little varmints.  Actually, they are kind of cute.  We killed one the other day, it was hilarious.  There were about eight girls standing on cots screaming while I was getting good pictures, ha-ha!  So yeah, well I need to go because I'm running out of time.  Tell everyone I say hello and that I love them.  Tell Andrew if I don't hear from him soon I will divorce him as my brother.  Remember, I am still in a war zone.  Okay, have a good day and I love you.

 

oh I need a soft tooth brush in my next package, you don't have to rush, and if you want, you can send my black with white and red stripe down the sides mesh pants...it's getting cold here at night, like 70 degrees, I know that's funny, but it feels like 40!  Okay bye bye mom

 

Love,

Carlye

Hey mom how are you doing?  I am doing decent right now, though I am starting to get a little down in the dumps lately.  We had some problems with the mail, computers and phone so that is part of the reason you haven't heard from me in awhile.  Nothing really exciting has happened around here.  The skeeters are getting really really bad.  Last night I got bit all over my face and I was really really puffy.  I would say I average about 20 bites a night.  One night the little buggers got in my sports bra and had a feast all over my chest.  That was not cool at all.  Also, last night I caught a rat in the trap I laid.  I was kinda in a daze from sleeping and it got away before I could kill it......or maybe I just was scared to touch it, anyways hehehe.  We are watching the Packers/Chiefs game.  Packers seem to be doing pretty good compared to the last few games.  Well I'm sorry I don't have things to write.  Will you please tell everyone that I say hi and that I love them.  I really really miss and am always ready to come home.

 

Love,

Carlye

Hey mom, glad to hear that everything at home is going okay.  I am doing alright today.  I was sick for the past few days but I am feeling better.  I don't need a mosquito netting but thanks anyways.  We caught another rat the other day...YES!!  It is like a sport now around here.  I am watching the Simpson right now.  Gosh, I really miss that show.  I got a package from you guys.  It had some soup in it.  Thanks alot.  The other ones I haven't gotten but that is expected because of the mail problem that we had.  Oh, I have a new obsession.  I now like the little campbel soup at hand things.  You can drink them like a cup it's awesome.  Things  are pretty routine around here still though I have had a long couple of days.  Well tell everyone I say hi and that I am doing fine.  Love you

 

Love,

Carlye

Hey there, how is everyone doing?  I'm okay right now, the weather is nice and the day seems to be stress free so far.  hmmm....every time I'm on here, I can't think of anything to write.  Well let's see.....the rules around here seem to be getting more and more difficult.  We can't run at night anymore because of all the rockets and mortars that they keep shooting over here.  We have to keep our gear around us all of the time.  It's just kinda annoying, I mean...we don't have anything much to worry about because my platoon sleeps underground.  But some big wig up there is getting paranoid.  I say whatever happens ..happens.  So what's new around you guys?  How are the cats?  Is phoebe enjoying her car?  I sent a picture of me to grandma and to Andrew just so you know.  You guys can take a look at them.  It's just me in my gear at the station..Unfortunately, the station isn't there anymore.  Well I just wanted to let you know that I'm okay and my spirits are decent.  Take care..Miss you

 

Love,

Carlye

 Hello hello there. Just writing to say that I'm still here and doing okay.  There was probably some stuff on the news lately.  So I thought I would tell you that.  Anyways.  How are things going over by you guys?  Same routine over here.  It is getting colder and colder everyday.  I'm working the night shift now but it keeps bouncing around.  I got the 2 packages of little Christmas presents.  I haven't opened them yet.  I'm going to keep them under the little tree that grandma sent me.  Well that's about all I have.  Nothing new to say.  Take care and I hope to hear from you soon.

 

Love,

Carlye

Well, everything at home sounds pretty exciting..for some reason.  Maybe it's because I'm so ready to be there.  Thanks for handling the school stuff.  I take it you got with Greta about the dorm room then?  About the immunizations, if they need records, call the unit.  I've been juiced up with pretty much everything from flu shot to hepatitis to TB....Anthrax..hehe...um...small pox...yeah...I'm good.  so they should have record.  I'm going to check online for registration.  Hopefully I can do it on there.  Well I must go.  Oh, we don't have anymore phone minutes left:(  I might be able to call on a cell phone if I can get a hold of one.  Keep up the good work on your workouts.  Send my love.  miss you

Hi there.  How is everyone doing?  I'm okay I guess.  Just relaxing from a long trip to Najif.  It's starting to get hot so I really don't want to do anything.  Not much is going on over here.  I'm doing escorts now, and will hopefully continue to do them for the rest of the time.. I really don't want to work at the stations anymore.  Well, this is just a note to tell you guys I'm okay.  Let me know what's new in your lives and stuff.  Mom, did you get any info on school yet?  Classes, place to live, financial aid?   Well, let me know.  Love you guys

 

Love,

 

Carlye
