Even Latest and Greatest
Well, most of you have been asking me about things that I would like to get in the mail or things that I need. So here is a list of some things that I have been in need of lately.
Shaving Cream (Sensitive Skin)
Deoderant
I know it's a short list, but most of the other items I can buy at the PX. Other than that, I think I am pretty much set. I just got my new running shoes in the mail today, and that was pretty much what I needed most. A few days ago, all the 1SG's in all the Nebraska units recieved several large boxes that were pretty heavy. I read the customs forms, and all they read were t-shirts and hats. So after all the uits had picked up their mail, I got an email from 1SG Cleveland. It said "Husker shirts and hats available on a first come, first serve basis". Come to find out, Larry the Cable Guy sent them. If any of you didn't know, he is from Nebraska, and is a huge supporter of the troops. He even owns a skybox at Memorial Stadium. I've heard that he let's soldiers use it when they are on leave or when they get back from Iraq. Many soldiers around here have been wearing their Husker gear, but only in the privacy of their hooches. We'd get in trouble if we were caught out of uniform outside of our hooches.
Keep an eye out for me on T.V. and Husker Vision. Last week, four other soldiers and myself had an opportunity to give shoutouts to our families and the Huskers. We all met at the PAO office (Public Affairs), and we each filmed about a 10 second shoutout. I was nervous, so hopefully it turned out alright. SFC Schultz said they will send them back to Nebraska, and local news stations will air them. He said he would also try and get them to show our shoutouts on the Husker Vision.
Not many attacks lately. The last one was yesterday, and we haven't been in U3 in over a week, so that is a plus. SGT Kane made it back from leave last ight, so today I had to give him his desk back and I got shoved back into my "hole". My office is what the everyone in the S-1 refers to as "The Hole" because it is seperate from the rest of the section.
Recently, the PSD (Personal Security Detatchment) has been a few soldiers short due to leave. I was told I would be joining them for the week in order to keep the missions going on. About 90% of the soldiers in the PSD are my buddies I used to train with back home. It will be nice to reuinte with them and do what we do best. I'll keep you posted towards the end of the week and put up a few pictures when I return.

Cool! Did you get one of those shirts/hats? Got your pictures of the mission. Didn't see you in them though! How come!??! Mom.
Well, how hot has it been lately?? I have a care package ready for you... it's just a bunch of candy and junk food, that's what I would want.. so I will send some to you... if it's not too hot anymore I will send it. I don't want any of it to melt. Mom & Dad said you called the other night, and sounds like you are out on the roads doing some traveling... I'm glad to hear that you've been put back in your hole! That's where you need to stay!! Have you been playing much basketball lately? Hope to hear from you again soon! Take care! Love, Meagan
Hi Brent!
Your mom forwards your new posts to me and I always enjoy reading them. That's a really cool way to let everyone know what is going on, without having to try to write to everyone individually. We tried to get Jason to do something that would update everyone at once, but he never did. We have another care package ready to send to you, but unfortunately I don't think it had either of the things you needed. Figures! Books, magazines, tons of candy and snacks, etc. Is it still pretty hot? Let us know when it starts to cool down and we'll send some chocolate! Hang in there, time is winding down! You are in our thoughts and prayers always! I want to see this smiling face when you get home! Deb (Your mom's friend & co-worker)
