Ch-Ch-Changes


More Changes for John in Iraq. The past week was a bit stressful for him and probably all the employees at KBR. There was a company wide meeting about layoffs and downsizing. Which in the big picture is good, the troops are starting the long process of moving out. But they were told no one is safe, however Gary believes John is, and he is really setting him up for success. John got moved back down to the Medical burn (where he spent his first 2 weeks) to learn the job and run it. John spent the past week reading books and binders on blood born pathogens, and OSHA compliance learning his job inside and out. He is such a fast learner and now has the medical burn organized with a fresh coat of paint. Literally. So there are 3 different jobs John can now do in Iraq, and not only do them but do them well. I am so proud of John and how hard he is working over there. I cant imagine working 12 hour days 7 days a week with no break - oh wait what am I talking about I am a mom. LOL
We got a camera over there to him and he has sent me some pictures. Johnny is really funny looking at them. He asked "thats what my dad growed up to be?" and of course then he told me he wants to go work in the desert with dada and I can just stay here with Hickup. Its good to be able to see where John is living and the people around him, and of course his face!
