Been Awhile
All right all I have gotten a few comments/questions about not having posted for a minute (or a couple of months). So here I am back out letting everyone know what the hell is going on with your Jarhead.
As I posted a few months ago we were tapped to go to AssCrackisStan in May. Well that is still in the plans and I have been doing all that I can to prepare not only myself but my Marines as well.
We did a nice little week long field op in Pendleton about a month and a half ago then I had to go to 29 Palms to prepare for the current field op the week after that. I then went out to the rifle range to make sure that I was going to be able to drop the Taliban at 500 yards (I feel like I am cheating with an the scope on the M4). After that I returned to 29 Palms where we have been for a month now.
The training that we have gotten up here is great and I am confident not only in myself and my Marines but in the leadership of the battalion as well. I know that we are going to be successful in our mission. I am currently just over a month from my deployment (advanced party) but I will make a more conscious effort to get on here and get some posts out.
SEMPER FI

That’s OK, Jarhead, we know how sometimes life intrudes into blogging. The important thing is that you, and your guys, are prepared and ready for the challenges you’ll meet. Stay safe and let us know how you’re doing.

After reading sometime back that you were in the line-up for deployment knew the blog would get put on the back burner.
Glad to hear that the Marines, including yourself, are getting everything in order and training is steppin right along.
When the ‘Bird’ had deposited you on the sands of where-ever be sure to let us back here know that you, your crew/shop, and any of your non-mail receiving Marines are in need of munchies and anything else along with who/how to contact to get the shipping info.
Don’t know how many followers you have out here but I get the feeling that not only I but many of them will be wanting to take care of you and our Marines.
Remember staying safe is not mandatory but it is a priority.
