OK well new post time. A few things to update on life here in Kansas. Me and Solita are no more. She made a trip up here a few weeks ago and it was after that visit that I realized that this relationship was not going to work. There are just too many things going on in my life that I can not put my full attention on a relationship. It was starting to unravel before I even realized it. The long distance, the deployment and my workload has been weighing heavy on me and I didnt think it would be fair to drag her thru all that so i decided to cut it off before anything got anymore serious and greater feelings would be hurt.

Now speaking of workloads, I have been busier than ever at work setting up for the new batallion to take over control so that my company can start dedicating our time solely to deployument training. We have to switch out 74 computer thruout the batallion so the batallion can be Vista complient by June as per the Army regulations. We are running wires to the new offices for network and phone connections that have to be done yesterday and a million other tiny things that now are suddenly so important. So that is why this post has been so long over due. Sorry for the wait guys but my life is going 100 mph and there is no end in sight.

Take care everyone and I will be home in a few months for soem well deserved rest and relaxation before I deploy in late June. Love you all!!
