The Beginning

So, I've decided to start blogging my Kosovo adventure.  I can't promise that I will post regularly, with correctly spelled words, or that my post will be of any interest.  The only person that may find this interesting is my wife, but that is to be expected.

I am currently in the last phase of validation before we head over seas for more validation.  My platoon is being evaluated on the numerous tasks we will be expected to do in Kosovo: monitoring the local populace, crowd and riot control, traffic control, and lots of other tasks.  We can't wait to not be here.

Besides training, Indiana is pretty much terrible.  Freezing temperatures (not as bad as NM, I hear), wind, and lots of ice.  When it snows, it takes about 2 days for the snow to melt, pack down, and then refreeze as a solid sheet of ice.  Its fun to watch people fall, but terrible to be the person falling: truly a win/lose situation.

Only 8 days until I see my wife and baby girl.  This is motivation.
