Yeah you Do have a tough job. Just the traveling so much is a great chore. But you get (sometimes) to see some beautiful parts of the country.

I wake up on my own clock. No one tells me where or when to be. But!!!!! To be good at this job, you have to push yourself.

You can address me as Staff Sgt. Peace now!

Well... staff sergeant select. I have to wait for the insignia.

ALRIGHT, CONGRATULATIONS!

I'll try and get you a little something. Hope you like the heavy metal artwork (least I THINK that's what it is, if they still got them)

How have you and Patti been?

I'm not doing to bad, back hurts a little. Patty is doing some better, but her appointment with the surgeon got CNL. Thankfully we were only about 40-45 miles up the road when they called.

So, have you already put the rank on or is it coming in October?

Have you thought about moving closer to the docs?

Haha, I don't want to be anywhere close to St. Louis. This guy is a specialist Surgeon. No one around here Qualified as an Endocrine Surgeon.

October I start getting the new pay. I will likely put the new rank on in Jan.

That sounds strange, Get paid but can't put the rank on for 3 months? Hey at least you're getting paid for it.
