New Job- yet again

Hello All,

Well, I went to the Badger game this weekend with my parents and father-in-law. It was a bit of a blow out (70-3) but we had a wonderful time. To top it off, we got a phone call from Mark! He has been so busy since prior to the Afghanistan elections that we have hardly gotten to talk or even swap many e-mails. He had some news though- his job changed- yet again. I think we are on "full time" job number 3 for this deployment (correct me if I'm wrong, Mark) and what seems like at least 4 or 5 additional little add on jobs.

His new job title is Battle Captain for the Battalion. As the title of the job states- it is meant to be held by a captain- but Mark will be having this job as a 2nd Lieutenant. The good news is, though it is a new job, this position is something he did receive training for prior deployment. So, thankfully, it is not totally new. His job consists of tracking and documenting where all of the companies in the battalion are, what they are doing, what they plan on doing, and what they need to be doing. The best part of the job (in my mind) is that the hours aren't quite as long! A typical day for him will now be 9am-9:30pm. Today was his first day so we'll have to see how the next few weeks go.

That's about all from this end. I hope everyone is doing well.

Love

Angie
