Getting out of the Army

Don't let anyone tell you it's easy to get out of the army, it took me 2 1/2 years to do it and boy was it frusterating!!!! The only cool thing about it wa that i got to go to a new company where i didn't hav e to go to pt in the mornings and i had to show u p 2 times a day other than that i stayed home and hung out with the fam. I am glad i am out of the army now, but things are scary due to no job right now, and money will be tight(yes family i know this so don't worry things will work out, how do i know you ask, i was assured in the temple.) I have been applying for jobs and looking so something will turn up wether through the VA or some other means. 

The townhome we moved into is great i will send pics so you all can see it, we live in Pleasant Grove which is right outside Orem, in UTah. the boys Lenny and Jack start Kindagarten in a week and boy are they excite, we took them school shopping and they picked out Backpacks both picked Lightning McQueen ones, they are funny boys.  the school they will go to is a 10 min walk wich is cool cuz angela will be able to walk them to school, since we only have one car.

Everything else is pretty much normal. so tell next time.

Peace Out 

so i thought i would start this, it might be fun who knows? well things are going really well, we just had our 4th child and are recovering as fast as we can from that. Ronald Campbell is his name for you all who haven't heard and i think you should have pics of him now if not e-mail me and i will send them. anyways life in the army is not going well right now, i am in what is called the "warrior in transition unit" which is for those of the army who need to recouperate from an injury or are awaiting a medical discharge, i am the latter. i have been seeing dr's now for almost 2 years and almost had to go back to iraq because my leadership didn't believe me about my injury to my lower back. i have a herniated disc between the l5-s1 of my spin which some dr's think insignificant. well i say what has been causing my left leg to go completely numb while running or even sitting, hearing crackling noises when i rotate my waist, having to take all sorts of meds to controll my pain, to that they just say chronic lower back pain, but i have proof of my hernia so that's all i need. i will find out hopefully in less than 3 months what the army plans to do with me, either medically discharge me with a certain disability raiting, or tell me i am fit for duty and get out in next april anyway. we will see.

i hope i didn't bore you and made some sense inletting you know about my situation. i will write more on the family next time. i am sending out pics of my time in iraq, it's alot i hope you all enjoy them, and if their's any rude language i'm sorry i have no control over what is said while i'm video taping things.
