| Received 2/14/05 Attached a photo of me when I was deployed to Kuwait in 03 in support of Iraqi Freedom. Never made it as far north as Roach but we definitely chewed som of the same earth. I was the Force Protection Liaison Officer witht he Kuwait Navy. My major job was to the British Marines to put thier clothes back on and get out of the pool and to keep the US Army girls and Navy boys from having sex in the porta-johns. I also oversaw the safe transit of all ammuntion used in the war out of the port facility. Rich |

| Received 4/14/07 Just an update, I made a major career move and decided to join the Army. I have accepted a commission to be a Chaplain, Captain 0-3. I will go to Chaplain Office Basic from 3 June - 30 August in Ft Jackson SC. Then my family and I will head to Ft. Hood TX for my first assignment. We are still awaiting pinpoint assignment orders telling me my unit. I will keep in touch as details come out. YITB George (Tyger) |
| Received 7/10/07 Hey, I am now in the Chaplain Officer Basic Leader Course at Ft Jackson SC. I will be here until 31 AUG after which I will be at Ft Hood TX. My family will follow on to Ft. Hood sometime in October. I am assigned to a light infantry brigade combat team there, part of the 1st Infantry Division. I expect to deploy in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom in the spring. Now officer basic is nothing like boot camp was. Most of the work is classroom based and I live in a two bedroom apt with a kitchen, laundry and wide screen TV! Never though I�d end up a captain but I have the commission and the bars to prove it! Keep in touch, I�d love to hear from y�all.

The good conscience fills a man�s heart with courage and boldness. And if the heart is bold and courageous, the fist is more powerful, a man and even his horse are more energetic, everything turns out better, and every happening and deed contributes to the victory�" - Martin Luther |
