New Address

Well, he's finally got a new address, which is posted on this blog in the right-hand sidebar. It's always fun to receive snail-mail, so I know he'll appreciate any postcards or notes you might send his way.

Sounds like his living conditions have greatly improved... he has a room to himself which opens onto a common area that he shares with one other room. He's getting internet and cable all set up, so it should feel like home soon.

The biggest change, other than location, is that when he's not working he's free to come and go like a "normal" working man! Ahhhhhhhhh, Kansas..... so many places to go..... so little time!

This base, according to Paul, is huge and everything is spread out... not good for a guy without a car! But good for exercise. Today was his first day "at work". Since he's the only "42-Fox" at Ft. Riley, his services will be in demand. He's even heard of some additional training (2 weeks) on new software, so if he gets accepted for the training, guess where that will be?? Ft. Jackson, where he just came from! Temps have been in the 50's already, so maybe he'll get to go when there a big blizzard in Kansas?

Thank you for keeping Paul in your thoughts and prayers. Hopefully he'll send pictures soon and I'll have something more interesting to post.

  1. Thanks for the address. We will write the soldier as often as possible. Being a Kansas girl, I think he'll enjoy the weather. It's challenging and especially interesting in the winter without a car!. Love, Eleanor
