His blog is known as “Citizen Soldier” and although he’s in from another state National Guard unit, as far as I am concerned he’s a brother. I have to hopes of him and the brothers and sisters in his unit:
1.) They all are safe on their tour
2.) They are led by better leaders than I had for my tour
3.) They have nothing but good stories to write about and nothing bad happens to them
Citizen Soldier’s blog is at http://citizensoldier65.blogspot.com/
My home National Guard unit just had our monthly weekend training session. I was assigned a few new soldiers to my platoon. They are all combat vets and after talking a few minutes, it turned out that we knew a lot of the same people. You see, the US Army Mess Kit Repair field is a very small group…so, if you stay in long enough, you will know a lot of good folks.
Now excuse me while I get back to watching the Olympics and stuff.

Just so you know, I saw the title and was prepared to offer condolences. I thought you meant, you know "THE BIG Sandbox" in the sky. Glad I mis-interpreted.
I sincerely hope Citizen Soldier, his team, and everyone in the wide net we cast comes home safe in mind and spirit to their loved ones.
CS has been a long time follower and commenter with a beautiful wife and two beautiful daughters. I wish him the best in this tour.
Bas, Sorry, I would have called that a "Dirt Nap".
Coffee, yeah I think I found his blog on your blog...but I can't remember anymore.
Off to check out the blog...
And nice pic by the way.
Aw, you're playing 'Cowgirl in the Sand', an old favorite. Thanks!
I second your 3 wishes or the Citizen Soldier, God speed to him and his.
I thought the same as Basinah, btw, and I was happy to be mistaken as well.
"Dirt nap" equals "kicking the oyygen habit?"
Thanks CI-RD and all best thoughts to the brothers in the GAFA
