Home for leave then back to the fight





Two short weeks of leave with my little family and I'm back to the fight. It does help that I got promoted to Chief Warrant Officer 3 in the second picture. In the last picture we stopped to refuel during our 5 1/2 hour trip to Baghdad and back on a 105 degree day with no A/C. Don't feel sorry for us, though. The refuelers brought us an Otterpop, and it was very refreshing.

What a beautiful family! It must be hard to be away from them for such long periods of time. Thank you for sharing your pictures and experiences, Dustin! You have an amazing job. I'm glad that a few people over there are getting their impression of Americans from you. You make us look good and you do us proud!

Thank you Rachel, that is the hardest part to be away from them. We knew what we where getting into, though, and we volunteered.

Congratulations on your promotion! That is excellent. And you have such a beautiful little family. Your wife is just as beautiful as ever and your boys have grown up so much since I last saw them! Keep up the good work!
