I didn't recognize the phone number and almost did not answer it. I'm so glad I did! It was great to hear from him. He is doing well. His company commander walked by while Noah was shooting the M4 and commented "Awesome Grouping!" Noah group was within .8cm, now that is pretty good!
He talked to Jenni yesterday also, and she told him of the whole group coming down to see him for his 36 hour pass. Now I don't have to worry about leaking that bit of info. :~)
I am looking forward to seeing him. He wants letters and pictures!
Love to both Noah and Riley!!!!

Riley called yesterday
He called using Skype and the connection was so delayed that the conversation was actually funny. We had a great time talking. It was 2200hrs when he called so we only talked about 30 min. He is doing well and enjoying doing his job. I am so proud of both of my sons! I just hope to see them soon.

Been a while hasn't it :~)
Well, I've been busy with so much that I haven't done anything here, so......
So far I've received four letters from Noah, two calls from Riley (missed one, dangit!) Riley has updated his blog http://downrangechop.blogspot.com/ with pictures and accounts of the military's attempt to kill him before he even reached Afghanistan :~)
Riley and Noah's shooting of the M4 rifle was very good, like the top three or so of their group. I guess the time we spent on Sunday afternoons riding in the Jeep to the sandpits to shoot paid off in their line of work!!
Both of them seem to be doing well now, after getting settled in. Riley sent me a Harley coffee cup from Kuwait. I had my first of coffee in it this morning.
I missed Riley's call this week while I was TDY at Ft Stewart. I was working on the video headend/distribution system for the new school. The system was really messed up. And we had paid a contractor to come out twice to "fix" it.... I completely torn it down and rebuilt it correctly. Now our children that live on the base and attend that school can actually see what is on the TV! :~)
Noah is anxiously looking forward to his 36 (maybe 48) hour pass. All he wants is a movie, pizza, Mountain Dew, and Snickers candy bar. He doesn't know it yet (and he doesn't have access to this blog yet) that his wife, Jenni, is coming down. That will be exciting and I know he won't have much time for everyone but that's okay. Just hope he continues to do well and stay safe.
Love You guys.... for we you get to read this!!!!
