Good to hear from you Jesse!! I know how it is over there bro and I feel for you. It's going to get really hot in the next month or so.
By May it pretty much sucks for months.
Keep your spirits up and your head down, check your six and stay safe for us bro. You'll be in our prayers. Let me know if you need anything, I'll do what I can. I've got a friend shipping over this week from Ft. Hood. He's an M-1 tanker (driver I think) and they're on their way for a year also.
Keep in touch as much as you can.
Eric
