Seven Followers

Just noticed the seven awesome folks who "follow" my blog and I started thinking. I want to begin a contest to see how many followers I can get to view "Dispatches from the Far East". I was inspired by the Ashton Kutcher vs. CNN race for the first person to have 1,000,000 subscribers on Twitter. The millionth person to follow this blog will receive a special gift: an all expense paid trip to Korea where you will dine on the finest Gaegogi (If you are not sure what that it I will allow to you use your Googling skills to find out).

Let me also say that "Coffee is for closers only!" I'm happy to announce that the men and women of the Battery were once again, the first in the battalion to complete our regular certification. Now that it is over I can begin to focus on all the other things on my plate. I moved into my apartment and have completely unpacked. That is awesome news! I will finishing cleaning the place up (Yes Melissa I said cleaning!) and take pictures for you all tomorrow.

I have officially been here for 30 days now and starting tonight I am finally able to consume alcoholic beverages . But, being the ever caring boss that I am I will not drink tonight so I can conduct courtesy patrol and ensure none for my Soldiers are arrested by the Air Force Security Police. They tend to give the Army Soldiers a hard time because 1. We are better looking than them and steal all their chicks (which in Songtan means "Juicy Girls" [again google is useful here]) 2. Because it takes at least 5 AF guys to take down one Soldier and 3. we are so 3008 they are so 2000 and late. Anyway, as we are providing their air and missile defense, keeping them safe from the reds you would think we would get away with more. So, I will be going out tonight like a good shepard to ensure that my flock makes it safely home. Tomorrow though, is day 32, and I will be going out to celebrate a successful certification. Good thing for you all is the time difference...my drunk dials will hit late afternoon your time. Which, hopefully would make you worry about me if you did not know I was in the KTO.

Will touch base with you tomorrow during the pre party...remember: "If you can't close shit, you are shit."
