Brad left for Afghanistan on November 7th, 2012. It will be a long 9 months! I am going to try to post news and updates as I get them. Any of you who hear from Brad, feel free to post too. And please post questions as well. Who knows, Brad may be able to access and post too -- which would be great.

Mother's Day Brad Update

The whole family had a chance for a video Skype with Brad on Mother's Day -- which made this mother very happy!  The kids were excited too.

I found out a little more about where he will be starting soon (still don't know when "soon" is).

There will be about 24 guys.  They will start out living in big tents that sleep 12+ -- 2 for them and 1 for "meetings".  Other gear will be what I picture to be shipping crates that you would see on the back of a train or ship.  They will have generators for power and they will have water -- but no internet, at least at first.  They won't have a cook, but I didn't get a clear picture of whether they would have MREs or more...

I will share more details if I hear them.

Love,
Piper
