long overdue...


Its been a while since I have actually been able to sit down and actually write an entry in this thing. My apologies to my avid readers (there must be at least one person out there) for not really putting any "meat" into my posts. I've been trying to keep you all happy with a few photos here and there and a couple quick notes. So here I am with an afternoon of free time so I guess I'll get to it.

Things around here have gotten interesting. Our tasks and missions have been changing which allows us to get into different corners of the country and see some new things. The other day we went to a small village south west of Kanadahar City and did some foot patrols in and around village. Its always interesting going to new places, and seeing new things.

Besides that everything is going well. We are trying our best to stay out of trouble and make it to the end of the tour with nothing but good experiences and some cash in our pockets. (For me this does not apply, seeing all my money will definetly be going to clearing all my University debt). Which brings me to my next point. I have been doing alot of thinking over the past couple of days and I have decided to finish my University degree upon my return to Canada. I am too close to finishing to toss it all away. Hopefully I will be able to continue working fulltime and finish up my remaining 30 credits over the course of 3 semesters part time.....well that is the plan anyway.

So I guess that is all from me for the time being. For all family friends who ahve been a little stressed lately because of the rise in violence, you need not worry I am well and trying to stay in the shade....

Cheers!

  1. And here I thought you were kidding about the whole going back to school thing.

    You sure you don't want to do one more? Who knows when the next opportunity for us to deploy will be... and then, if and when it comes around, you will have to worry about stuff like serious relationships and things of that nature.

    I was just about to start putting pressure on you to put in for OMLT... imagine that team, you, me and GH! HaHa

    Best of luck dude, I know it can't be an easy decision. In my opinion, school will still be there in 2011 HaHa the 45k in your bank won't be HaHa
