Hi to my wife, Chermaine; I miss you and love you. I'd also like to say hi to Tubby and Fatty, my nieces. Fatty, keep doing your homework, and Tubby, keep practicing on Mario Brothers. Also, I'd like to say hi to my mom and dad back home in Wai'anae. Just taking it one day at a time in Afghanistan. Looking forward to coming home and being with my family again. I just take it one mission at a time, hoping to not get into contact. To me it seems pretty stable right now.
