Ok so here comes a little seriousness......
not my usual MO but sometimes it comes out in me!
I was feeling just a little bothered today about heading up north for our real mission.
At first I thought it was because of the 6 coalition personnel that were
killed in that area this morning but it is a bit more then that........I am being sent to do a mission and no matter how well I do my mission my safety does not increase as my days pass.....I am no less likely to have my convoy struck with an IED the 1st day then I am on the last day!!! It is a harsh realization that is very unsettling! I can hope that the area calms down and that the attacks become less likely but that is out of my control.......I will not let this burden me BUT I will do all that is in my power to keep myself and my team safe!! I am not sharing this information to make people worry any more then they already do......I just wanted to share my feelings and the reality......
Much Love to Everyone and prayers out to the families all those who have fallen.......

Mickey. This is your Mom's friend, Karl, from Louisiana. My prayers for your safety and what you are doing is great. My 20 years in the military during the cold war, is nothing compaired to your mission, and the dangers. The enemy, cowards, will someday be defeated like the Soviets were. Thank you for your brave service and please be safe. Karl
