Hey, what's going on? I'm just sending out an update about my arrival in Iraq.  I'll be parallel with the unit that I'm replacing for about 20 days, then they're headed back home to Germany. I'm the Non-Commission Officer in charge of the automation depart for my battalion which covers 40 different areas.  Since I've been back on active duty, I've come to realize that I miss it a lot. Oh yea, the pay is good too! . I don't know about going back to school, I'm thinking about going full time army when I get back and finish up on the classes that I need while on duty.  I do want to graduate from Famu, even though I didn't want to attend there, but look at me now, how Ironic.  I really want to graduate badly from Famu and no other school.  I really had a great experience being around you maturing adults except for Dr. Black,  I think he's a few years older than I. Anyhow, let the graduating class know that I'm proud of them and welcome to the work force for the long haul. If they already haven't.
