A little Hannah Update

Two posts in one day. Oh well, I feel like gabbing. Just a little update on Hannah. She says things are going pretty well in Iraq. She loves her "men". That's the team she goes on missions with. I guess a "mission" is when they go outside the wire and blow up road side bombs and the like. She says she never realized how much fun "blowing s!%t up is!" That's my Hannah. Actually she stays in the truck as the medic in the event someone gets hurt "having fun". The worst part is she is on duty 24 hours straight, then on call 24 hours which means she must be able to report within 7 minutes. The third day she is off, which means she must be able to report in 20 minutes. She can only shower on her off days. This for a kid that used to have to shave her legs every day! She says the best part is there are so many males, the females can be choosy, and so few females that they all look good to the men! Actually she has a beau over there watching out for her. She is studying to go before the Soldier of the Month Review Board at the end of May. Say a little prayer for her if you can. She plans to re-enlist in July and I believe getting the Soldier of the Month honor will help her in one way or another for her re-enlistment. She says she thinks the Army is the best way of life for her and either she is made for the Army, or the Army is made for her. Knowing Hannah...it must be that the Army was designed strictly for her! Needless to say, I am a proud, concerned mom, but happy that she seems happy. I'll let you know more as I hear. Eileen
