 Please help me spread the word so that others (who may not check the blog regularly) know that his address has changed. I also got an e-mail from Mark telling me a bit about his new location! The e-mail is a bit of a sigh of relief knowing that his living conditions are good and that he sounds to be very happy  with the unit he will be working with. Enjoy the e-mail below!

Things are going well but I am super busy- all the time! It's really crazy, but I love it. It is so great to be working with Soldiers and not other officers. I am loving the new job- just really tired. I am going about six hours a night. I think I will get a bit more once I get my routine down and learn the job. Right now a lot of my time is spent learning things that won't be so bad once I know the job. I'm not even in charge yet and I already love the platoon and look forward to working with them. I can't wait to be their leader. Tomorrow the old PL and I will be doing an inventory and property book signing (over to me). I will be signing for about $22 million dollars worth of equipment. I find that pretty crazy and it makes me grin just thinking about it.

Other than that, the ANP at my station need some work. They have a lot of new ANP who still need to go to basic training. It's fun working with them though and I look forward to making them better and the communities that we are responsible for safer. The guy I'm replacing and I drank tea (chi, always chi), with the ANP commander at the Provincial Reserve (again, which is where I live). We were in his office/room for just over an hour. It was a long time, but we shared some good laughs and it was a good bonding opportunity for me and him so that is good. Those two have a good relationship and I hope that we can continue to build on that.

That's about it. My room is awesome- more space than at PHQ and more than I had at CNS. We have showers and hot chow for breakfast and dinner which is also better than the 3 hot dinners we got at PHQ. I am happy here. It is much better living conditions than I expected.

 Love Mark

Hope all is well with everyone! Love Angie
