Another Month Down!

Hello to all! Just a quick note to say that I’m doing fine and it is finally September!  We are getting real short as to our time remaining in this country.  They say we will be home for Thanksgiving and it won’t be soon enough for me!  I can’t wait to get back and get to shooting pictures again.  This pic shows me in the hatch of an Armored Security Vehicle (ASV for short) before a mission a while back.  Obviously, I am not the photgrapher but its hard to get pictures of yourself sometimes!  Thanks to all the people who keep supporting us with their prayers, letters, and emails.  It is really good to know what is going on back in our own worlds.  Also I wish to say congrats to my daughter Sarah and her husband Barrett for both graduating from Baylor University this year!  I’m really proud of them both!  And Lil’ Jack has started eating pizza as of late I hear from Grammy Jo’.  They dont stay young for long!  Everyone take care and I hope to see you all at Thanksgiving!  Later, JT

Approaching 90!

As I write this post, we are closing in on one of those milestone days.  We are fast approaching the 90 days left in country mark.  I can’t be exactly sure when it is because we don’t have an exact date yet but we are getting close that’s for sure!  This shot is me giving a convoy brief for our, 37th or 38th or somewhere close to there, trip outside the wire.  A lot of planning and briefings must be completed before we roll and everyone, including the KBR civilians must get all the information.  All in a days work as the saying goes.  Well, not much time as we are heading back to TQ so you all take care and I’ll talk at you when I can.  Later, JT
