Well, it appears that everything is back on schedule. The Sergeant Major for whom I work spent the entire week jumping through hoops (he’s a great guy), and managed not only to get me transferred to a local unit (I’m now an admin NCO with, if memory serves, the 1221st Troop Command), but also to …

My new "job"
Well, today was the third day of work at my new job–sort of. I’ve been showing up and doing the work; however, the HR person who told me when to report for orientation got her wires crossed. My appointment has not yet been approved, and the Sergeant Major for whom I am working is having …

Well, this will probably be the last time the Qatari 2600 is sent out as an e-mail. From now on, it will be maintained as a blog, available here: http://q2600.blogspot.com/ Hopefully, with my new job, I will be able to maintain regular forms of communication with people.

Howdy, All! It’s been a pretty good couple of weeks. I missed work on Thursday night because I got stuck in ice out of town, and I’ve got jury duty next week; also, I’ve found out that I will definitely NOT be attending OCS this year :). But otherwise it’s been pretty good (Oh, and …

Well, the year is coming to a close. Let’s see: I’ve been a Master Mason for about two weeks now (quite a remarkable experience, by the way), but I’ve missed the last three Lodge meetings–which is a month and a half without going. Obviously, I’m going to have to get back on the ball. There …

Hey, everybody!Just a note to let everyone know that I’m alive. I’m actually supposed to be writing an essay on The Army Values right now, but since I’ve never actually seen them demonstrated I’m having a little trouble.Looks like Kevin will be back about the same time that I will; I’m thinking that perhaps the …

Howdy, All! Just to let everybody know, I’ll be gone for most of September. I’ll be attending the two-week National Guard version of a school which used to be called “Platoon Leader’s Development Course”, and was required for promotion to Sergeant, but is now called “Warrior Leader Development Course” and is required for promotion to …

This will be another short e-mail: Well, it’s been really busy. Overtime at MBS is killing everybody. I managed to finangle a couple of days off this week–in payment for the fact that I wasn’t paid for my team leader position for the first three months that I held it–but we’re working up to 10 …

When it rains… Well, we’re up to 60 hours a week at the warehouse. I think that’s all I need to say about that.Also, I have a seat for PLDC (they call it “Warrior Leader Training” now, but I have difficulty saying that with a straight face) during the last half of September–so I’m also …
