2007 and Maintenance Day
Happy New year everyone. I hope this year will bring all of you good health and happiness. I myself didn't do much to celebrate. Instead, I decided to enjoy my sleep. I figured it would be better to celebrate the New Year at 9 A.M. instead of Iraq's New Year.
Saturday was my maintenance day. A day of light duty. I had another one of my Saturday afternoon softball league games. I don't really have many pictures of our softball team, so I tried to get some good action shots. We won our game, but the strong winds gave us some troubles in the outfield. After the softball game, I went with the rest of the S-1 section to the 240B range. Unfortunately, Hammer didn't get a chance to make it out as he was manning the office while we were gone. It sounds like he will get a chance to do something a little more HOOAH (cooler) than firing a machine gun. There were six of us, so it worked out nice. Each firing team was made up of a gunner and an assistant gunner. SFC Kerchal was teamed up with Burnham, Johnson with Kane, and Fleck with myself. Kerchal and Burnham managed to fire with the group ahead of the rest of ours, so I snapped a few photos of them sending a few rounds downrange. All in all, one of the best maintenance days I've had so far.
I ran across an article about America Supports You's end of the year accompishments. Here is the story. You can access their website by going to www.AmericaSupportsYou.mil, or SGT Kane has a link to thier site under "Military Stuff".
That's all for now, but stay tuned for the Husker Bowl Game post. Happy New Year.

From the looks of that range card I don't ever want you mad at me!

Unfortunately your blog on the Nebraska game won't be as upbeat as some of the others have been. I was hoping we'd get a bowl victory to finish the season up.
Cool pic of Fleck.
We've got the day off today for President Fords funeral. We're watching it right now. Remember when I took you up to Omaha before AIT and we watched President Reagan's procession? It is a memorable moment in history, one you never forget.
Hopefully last year went fast for you and hopefully the next ones will too. Remember to keep your head on and don't become to complacent.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
We love ya! Mom, Dad, Meagan & Emily.
Yeah, with the big Husker loss, I probably won't do a post. Plus that's more of Kane's and Hanseling's lane.
