Phone Call

We spoke with Tim on Sunday afternoon. He called from his mobile phone and told us they had use of them for 30 minutes. Unfortunately, he said that things after Family Day are much like they were before Family Day. That is, no special privileges. However, their training is now mainly by platoon, rather than by troop, so there is less waiting than before. He enjoys training on the Bradleys but has not been able to drive one yet. He seems to be healthy and doing reasonably well. The weather is still rainy down there, and he is getting a little tired of being wet. He asked for information about his unit in Texas, but we weren't able to find much on the Internet. He has just a little over five weeks to go.

Here is the emblem of his Texas unit - the 112th Cavalry.
