Crazy Night

So last night we were on our way out to dinner, it was Michael's turn to cook so he was doing an Uncle Jim. Anyway, he gets this call from the company stating that they were having a 100% recall back to post for his batallion. It seems that there was an assault on a soldier by 3 other soldiers yesterday afternoon. So he told me to grab a book and this shouldn't take too long. I ended up sleeping on the floor in his office last night and left post this morning by getting a ride from my friend and then went back to post after showering. The batallion, 5 companies, was on complete lockdown until these 3 "geniuses" would turn themselves in. We finally left post at 2:30 this afternoon. I can't give any specifics, but it was an interesting evening. At least I'm going to get my dinner out tonight!!!

It's sad and upsetting to know that 3 young soldiers could turn on one of their own. The soldier who was injured had his issues and was being discharged from the army today. They put the whole batallion on hold, soldiers who were supposed to go to school in Germany weren't sent, Michael and I were supposed to go on a trip to Milan today but weren't able to go. They wasted military money, time, and kept soldiers from their families during a four-day weekend.

I think it hurt me more physically since I had to sleep on the floor. At least I was able to stay with Michael, I didn't really have a choice last night anyway.

Hope you're all having a great day! Ours has gotten better!!! :)

    I'm sorry Katie. Between this and your car getting broken into, it seems like you've had a pretty rough week.

    As always, we love you guys and miss you greatly.

    We went to Gina's reception today. It was really nice. I got a chance to meet a couple of your friends from high school. We'll try to post some pictures tomorrow or Monday when we get back home.
