: Hey all,
Max, I am a little late getting back to you but it is good to get this update. It must be a little exciting to have just a few more months to go and then the new LT! We are happy for you and proud of you certainly. Keep up the good work! Ernie...
: Sorry I've been away so long... been pretty
: intense here. I got PRK eye surgery
: immediately after Christmas break, so I
: couldnt see for a while, and it's taken me
: until now to get caught back up... so I
: appoligize for my absense... But the good
: news is no more glasses!
:
: In other news, Post Night was a week ago. It
: all goes by class rank, so the top guy in
: the branch gets his choice of the available
: posts, and then so on down the list... I was
: 8/103 for Armor, so not too bad... I ended
: up choosing Ft Riley, KS... not the most
: glamorous of posts (my other top choices
: were Ft Carson, CO; Germany; Ft Lewis, WA;
: Hawaii), but a bunch of my friends (2 armor
: guys, 1 engineer, and 1 MP) are all going
: there, so it'll be nice to go with guys I
: know. Plus, it's relatively close to home
: (~7 hours to drive) so thats not bad either.
: I'll be with the 1st Infantry Division (Big
: Red One!). We'll get our Brigade assignments
: in April I think... I'm hoping for one of
: recon Cavalry squadrons in one of the heavy
: brigades there (either 1st or 2nd Brigade),
: so we'll see...
:
: Other than that, not much new... same old
: here... getting pretty sick of it, cant wait
: to get out. 107 more days...
:
: Next weekend is 100th Night for us, so the
: girlfriend is coming up for that; there's a
: big banquet and ball, so that'll be fun...
:
: Well that's about it from me. Hope all is
: well with you all...
:
: Happy Valentine's Day!
