Hoenfels

Hello everyone. I am into the second phase of training and am that much closer to coming home. The next couple days will be spent getting our new soldiers ready for Afghanistan. And there is a lot to learn. Today was our first day and very quickly discovered that 3/4 of the company had never worked around a helicopter. Helicopters are our primary means of getting around the mountains down range. The new guys are learning the ropes rather quickly but they have to overcome a steep learning curve.
On Katie's blog she asked for prayers. She isn't sure if she wants to stay in Italy for the deployment alone without me and far from all of you, her support while I am gone. I can certainly understand this. Please pray for her; I am certainly doing so. Thank you.
To all, I wish you well. Can't wait to see you when Katie and I come home in April. Till then, take care.
