Congratulations Drew. This really brings a smile to my face. I haven't been on here in a long time and to see this good news today is awesome. I recently completed the Transp. of HazMat course as well, for the third time as you know it's due every two years. It always seems as thought I get chosen as the HazMat manager wherever I go.
I'm glad everything is going good for you and you are making it over life's speedbumps. Just remember, when you are tavelling down life's path and you no longer encounter any bumps, you probably took a wrong turn somewhere.
I am actually back on another deployment again too and brought the flag you sent me from your last deployment. I am going to have it flown over our FOB. One flag, two theaters. BTW, my wife recognizes that flag as one of my most prized posessions. I recently went through SERE and have even a greater respect for it now.
Again, congratulations on Baby Maile and the wonderful family you have.
