The Best Day Ever...

Well it will be when John comes home, however he had a pretty good one the other day. After receiving a special package in the mail from me, paying off his truck and getting a day off he got to ride in a Black hawk Helicopter to a new base in ArRamadi. He was so excited about the ride and it was great to hear him smiling. I know he didnt want to look silly for taking a ton of pictures but he managed to get a few. And now like everything
new John experiences he wants to learn how to fly one. He said it felt so cool, like being in a machine in the sky - like a dozer or something. Lucky guy, gets to ride one on the way back too. He got sent to a different base to run the incineration department while the other guy is on R&R. Being in a new place might help these next 2 months go by faster. It is a much smaller base surrounded by a city, they are forwarding his mail to him so dont worry the address is still the same and he will be back in Alasad by April 20th. I know he is missing his TV but I think it will be good to change things up a bit. He is really working hard over there and really geeting to do some cool things.
