I was really looking forward to coming to Washington because the month before I left, it was in the 40s and 50s everyday. Not tropical, but much better than Chicago this time of year. I must say I have be very disappointed with Mother Nature. Two days ago, we had sun, snow, rain, and sleet. Temps ranged from 20s to 50s. Yesterday and today just snow. I am not diggin this. Plus it's a terrible way to acclimate to the desert.
Training continues. Again nothing too exciting, but at least it's hands on training versus sitting in a classroom watching power point slides. Work also continues. There are a lot of real public affairs missions we're working on while we train, so we're keeping busy.
Julie and the kids are doing well so far. I think Cabo still remembers me; Julie said that he was going crazy over a package that I sent home that had extra uniforms in it. I think he was a little disappointed when I didn't jump out of the box.
I also wanted to share a little video our unit put together showing how life is around here:

It should be the first video on the page, with a Soldier standing in front of a Red Bulls sign.
That's it for now.
