Hey everyone. I know it's been a long time and I haven't posted anything exciting. Work here is really boring actually. It keeps me busy, but it just involves researching different questions (you'd be amazed what some people will ask) and trying to keep people working together. Let me tell you, some people are really stubborn and very hard to work with. Other than that nothing exciting here. Emily just posted my big news. Yes, I am going to try to start grad school over here. The Army pays for most of it and I get a Masters in homeland security. I am very excited about the possibility of teaching at West Point though. If I get selected (I've been told only about 18 CPTs a year get selected) then the Army will pay me to go to grad school full time for two years and get a Masters in military history. After that we would move to West Point to teach. I don't like West Point cadets (cadidiots), or the communist NY gun laws, but it is a great opportunity to get some great schooling and teaching experience - while at the same time not having to deploy every other year.
The nly other exciting piece of news I have is that I have switched rooms yet again. Hopefully this is the last time. The pictures in this post are of my new pimp pad. The roommate I just moved away from snored so loud that one night some folks thought we were being attacked! Okay, not really, but he was the loudest snoring guy I've ever heard. The walls of our connex room literally shook from his snoring. The new room is great though and I'm rooming with Scott, the guy I also work all day with. One of the good things is I won't have to get a new roomie every couple of months (yes, some branches of the military send their people for 4-6 months...air farce) while the Army sends me for 15. But, at least for now things are looking up as far as housing.
Thank you everyone for your thoughts and prayers. I am doing fine over here. I miss everyone and I can't believe HJ is already taking steps, but time is flying and pretty soon I will be back home.

Wow, Ben, those are some pretty nice digs! I like the rustic look...it's the "unfinished basement" look, I guess...Ian and I think of you all the time, we hope you are well...! Congrats on Graduate School, I hope Ian get's to do that someday...Tara and Ian (we are at Ft. Huachuca right now...in a motel room and NOT complainin'!!! hahahaha!)
