Tim

To answer a few questions...

Tim is in the 1/40th Cavalry Squadron in the Airbourne BDE of 4/25th. They actually don't exist except for a number of great NCO's, 1 LT, 2 CPTs 2 Majs (Tim included) and a LtCol. Tim is the current XO. The unit will offically stand up in October.

He jumped last week with little fanfare. He was supposed to jump 2 weeks ago, but there was some kind of rule about only getting 10% of the parachutes wet (it was raining) so my "tanker" wife mentality went into "whatever" mode and stopped caring. But after his first of a weekly road march with 40 lbs. ruck sack took place, all Airborne/Infantry jokes went out the window. Of course, I'm still forced to deal with troop vs. company and squadron vs. battalion, so please forgive any slips.


Tim also went fishing 2 Sundays ago (at 3:45 AM) with our neighbor and brought home 3 silver (Coho) salmon. He wore his lucky "Citadel" fishing hat...I'm sure that's what did the trick.

As it is, it looks like Tim may head to a HOT, HUMID LA in August of next year and then on to the desert in the late fall/early winter. I'll worry about all that when it actually comes around, until now I'm just enjoying our weekends and evenings together.
