Ray's training like crazy!!

Well, Ray has been gone for 113 days now and he has been working 24/7 and training even harder. It has been very hot and muggy, raining and just plain miserable. However, he has been having some fun. They actually got 1 day off last month and he and a friend went to Savannah and hung out all day. They had a great time and were thrilled to actually eat "real" food.

Apparantly, Ray is well known all over the state of Texas for his ability to fix network issues. So as a result of this, he was invited by a 4 star General, a 3 star General and a 2 star General to breakfast. The 4 star General is the Command General for the 1st Army (1st Infantry Division) and he had heard about Ray through other people and wanted to meet him and talk to him. WOW!!! He has a great time and was awarded a coin.

I will post some pictures of his training so far with the promise of more to come.

On a sad note, Ray's battle buddy lost his 6 year old daughter 2 weeks ago due to health problems. He has decided that with his love for his country and his military family, he will continue to train and deploy with his Brigade. He is still a little lost and not quite himself, but he will pull through. Please keep Sgt. Nichols and his family in your prayers.

With love,
