Tom called from someone’s cell apparently and let us know he and the rest of the unit had made it to Fort Hood this evening. As dumb luck would have it, Leslie and I went out for 10 minutes and missed his call. In any case, all is well for now.

I’m building a subsite called Galva Guard and will be putting up news stories and whatever images we receive from Tom or whoever submits really. This may or may not break my bandwidth and storage budget. We’ll just have to see I suppose.

I guess I’m feeling a bit out of sorts really. It isn’t right to watch your little brother getting prepared to go into a conflict area. Granted, he’s younger and definitely more fit than me at the moment and I have no doubt he is trained, and will continue to be trained, to do the best job possible. The problem is me being overprotective I suppose and its something I’m just going to have to deal with. Some days it just infuriates me that this is the situation we’re all in.

In any case, I’ll try to stay objective about the whole thing. Online anyway.
