Carol is getting to leave Tikrit and head out to Balad (which is a little north of Bagdhad). Since her replacement is already on the ground in Tikrit she will be taking command of the RCC Balad office.

Send me to Mama!!!!

K wanted me to send her to Mama yesterday. I told her it would take too long and Mama was coming home soon anyway. We hope to get Carol back here sometime in mid-August!

Welcome Princess!

Carol helped pick out a little pony for Ks upcoming birthday. Yesterday, Princess (Sugar to her previous owner) joined our herd. K was very happy. We were lucky and Carol was able to join by phone and participate. We also took lots of pictures and video of the event.

Attention to Orders!

Carol is now a LTC!

Congratulations!

Congratulations!

Carol made it back to Tikrit safely. She will be pinning on her next rank (LTC) on 1 May. Additionally we got news that she will take command of a contracting battalion in the June 2009 time frame. We are so very proud of her. The picture shows Carol and another MAJ (Christine). There's a sand storm going on around them, but they don't let that get them down!
