Happy Holidays from Kuwait

By the time of this publishing, I will have been in Kuwait for over 100 days. Much has unfolded during this short time. I have gone from being the new kid on the block where I only knew one person to developing friendships and professional relationships with many. From the offset, I was separated from my unit to serve as a LNO (Liaison Officer) for our higher headquarters at Camp Arifjan. My unit, the 730th Quartermaster Battalion, remained about 1.5 hours north of Arifjan at Camp Virginia.

I was delighted when the 113th Field Artillery Brigade from Greensboro, NC joined me at Arifjan. Today we have adjusted to our new home. As the holidays approach, we deeply miss our family and friends in North Carolina, but we are able to find strength in each other. Together we are able to sing away the blues and celebrate the season. We wish all our fellow Carolinians a Happy Holiday Season. We will be back soon!
