Today I went up to Camp Casey to watch the Second Infantry Division change of command ceremony. I’ve been to a few of these, but this one was quite impressive. Seeing the famous 2ID warriors in formation and marching in review was pretty awe inspiring. Major General John Morgan accepted the unit’s colors from LTG Valcourt and I’m thinking he’s going to be a great leader. Met him a couple of times (well, been in the same meetings anyway) and he always impressed me. So congratulations and I’m sure he will carry on the 2ID tradition of being “Second to None”!

Damn, it was cold up there this morning. I wore my long underwear but couldn’t find my gloves this morning. I did alright, except for my feet which lost feeling during a ceremony that lasted almost two hours (plus one hour waiting for it to start). So, I told myself not to be a pussy and remembered the stories of the Soldiers at Chipyong-ni during the Korean war, and it wasn’t so bad. Except for my feet. Did I mention it was cold?

So, what are you going to do after a cold day in the field? You are going to come home and bake! Oatmeal raisin cookies to be precise. And while they are baking why not fix yourself a couple of hearty bbq pork sandwiches? Wanna see?

I may not have any money, but tonight I had some dough…

Hot out of the oven and they taste better than the look. Here, let me upload the smell. Oh, we don’t have the technology for that do we? Sorry.

What did you think I meant when I said bbq pork? That I actually barbecued it? Duh. This is the 21st century! I DEFROSTED it all by myself though!

Ok, time to digest. Later all!
