Hot in here

I am finally getting readjusted from R&R. Things are going well here at FOB Normandy. But it is HOT! When I got back we started our guard cycle which consists of a 8-9 guard shift wearing full gear. The average temperature that work was 114 degrees with several days reaching 117. Add about 20 more degrees to that when wearing your body armor and you become a walking sauna. I have moved to Headquarters Platoon where I am now the gunner for the XO's tank. I have also moved in a new room which I will be converting into a video game center for our soldiers. I have already started running wires to different locations to allow many of our soldiers to play head to head games against each other. I will be making a new website soon to try to get some xbox's and televisions donated for this cause. If anyone wants information on this project you can email me at jeremy.satterlee@gmail.com If anyone would like to donate you can do so by clicking the donate button. If you do donate please leave information on what you want your money to help purchase.

We did get internet access at our company so it will be easier to update this site and add pictures to my other site. I am sorry it has been so long since I have updated. I will do my best to update as quickly as possible. Thanks for all the prayers and thought you send us.

SPC Rice

As you may have noticed I have not updated this site in over a month. On April 26th we lost a very good friend and soldier. SPC Rice was killed in a vehicle accident on the way back to our FOB. It took some time to get over this tradgedy but I am ready to move on. I will never forget the sacrifice Rice made for his country. We will all miss him. Rest In Peace brother, I know you are in a better place now. Feel free to use the comment section to write about Rice if you knew him.
