July updates

I'm back from gunnery. It was three weeks in the "field" punctuated by one night back at Camp Casey... to clean up my room after the toilet in another room on the hall burst and flooded the entire floor. I say "field" because we got to stay in barracks and had showers (I made time for the showers every other day).

Gunnery was nonstop busy for me. I think my soldiers got some good training and field experience out of it. Probably the best thing was our company seeing the company medical treatment facility set up.

My college roommate Andrew "the Gammby" Miller got married in July (07/07/07!) to his longtime Canadian girlfriend Michelle. I'm disappointed I couldn't be there in person, and I really wish the both of them an amazing life together.

My brother Brad leaves in three days for a month long camp at Yellowstone! Have a great time Brad!

I'm not sure if I will stay in Korea for a second year... I'll probably have more about that in next month's update...

We just got a new battalion executive officer who seems very engaged and knowledgeable, so I'm pretty happy about that. I should be able to learn a lot from him. There is a lot of room for improvement in our battalion.

My good friend Henry is coming back to Korea to teach! He's already back in country and last weekend he, Forest, and I went hiking Korean style.

Monsoon season was in full swing today. I have a three day weekend, and I'm heading somewhere South. Stay dry until next month!
