Little Bear on Flag Rock

Little Bear

Little bear is just trying to help Rick out with all his V8! That guy really loves his veggies...

Little bear was taking a break at work...opened up the window to let a little fresh air in...looked real nice outside...had to be at least 40 degrees...felt like Spring was its way.

This is the view outside our clinic window. If you look over the bathrooms, shower, bunkers and b-huts we've got a great view of the mountains.

Friday night foosball

On Friday nights the team gets together for dinner and foosball...or ping-pong. Here we are with little bear in tow...can't say I'm any good at this game but we all have a good time. Truth is, it's good we all get along. I'm with Rick (to my right) most all the time. CPT Marrero and SFC Zeveney (destroying us here in Foosball) are with us in the office all day long. We're together all the time. I'm grateful to be with these three -- all work hard and are great to be with. We make a good team. We've got a good number of medics and there are other personnel who will come and go from other services but this is our nucleus. It's a great one.

It snows a bit here...not as much as I'd like but we get a few inches here and there. The most we've had is about 8 inches. Little bear couldn't help himself...just had to get out there and make friends....just like Kerrigan. This little snowman hung out for a while and played with Little Bear. But you know how snowmen are...when things got hot, he was outta there! And the weather has been a lot nicer lately...got up to 40 the other day...makes for good running.

Little Bear Broadcasts Live on FREEDOM RADIO!

Little Bear had his debut on the air just the other day. You probably didn't catch it because Freedom Radio doesn't quite broadcast all the way to your homes...but the D.J. is just across the hall from out clinic. Little Bear just couldn't help himself -- he had to get on there and speak his mind. And what did he say? He said he's having a great time over here with me but he is always thinking of Mommy, Kerrigan, Lily and Joshua!

Rules of the Blog

You should all know that there are a lot of things I’m just not going to talk about in the blog. You won’t hear much about what I actually do for my job. I won’t say much about where we are or tell you many names. Why? Security here and everywhere the military goes is key. Even though you need a password to get on this site and it may seem silly, it is important that I do this in this way. So, I’ll chat about how life is over here, how I feel, how the kids are doing back home, etc. Trust me, I’m not doing any super-sexy-secret missions in the night. I’ve just got that cool job of taking care of people.
Oh, and I do feel obligated to ensure the ice cream quality is satisfactory. Kerrigan sent me a little bear in a package recently. It’s the same little bear she has been putting on my nightstand for years. So, I’m taking little bear with me and he’ll get a few photo ops in the future. And, yes, the baskin robins pralines and cream is top quality stuff!
