I just want to say a big aloha to my wife, Joshelynn. I love her and I miss her. Everybody's well here at K2 in Uzbekistan. It's really fun helping the Uzbek people build relationships with U.S. troops. We help out a lot by donations from family readiness groups through the United States. We give out clothes and school supplies through a local church in Uzbekistan. I miss the barbecues every Friday back home in 'Ewa Beach and surfing at Barbers.
