A shorty...
Hello All, Just a quick note 'cause time is a little short. Warm nights here are a bad sign. Warm air means clouds, clouds mean rain, rain means mud and mud means miseable conditions and hummers stuck. The light is getting brighter and I haven't heard a whistle... might not be a train after all. I kinda like the weather during the day here. It's like spring back home, but it's lasting longer than 3 days (see Nebraska weather). Jake is doing well, I'm going to be his Godfather when I get back. Right now my Dad is standing in for me, thanks Dad but I'm sure you're having a great time with the little guy. It's about time for us to head home. Tempers are getting shorter and general attitudes aren't very good either. I love you all, Will 05:08 PM

So glad to hear that Jake is doing so good. At lest that keeps your spritis up. That mud is something to make life miserable. Wish you could send some of that rain to San Diego. We sure need it more than you do. Glad to hear that there are no whistles! Always a good sign! So, when you are back to your "real life" are you going to keep us all posted on how you are doing? I hope so, we are all cheering for you and praying for you often! Take care! :-) Posted by: Annette on January 19, 2004 08:02 PMHey short timer - you make sure these last few weeks are safe ones. All the wheels are in motion (not train tracks either). Posted by: IRA on January 19, 2004 08:48 PMWill Hang in there....and I'll pray for no train. Don't let your guard down even though you're hopefully coming to the end of your 'tour' (makes it sound like a vacation...NOT!). Congrats on "godfatherhood"...! Lorrie Posted by: LV on January 19, 2004 09:06 PMI hear about Jake frequently. Sounds like he's doing great for having arrived a little too early. Glad to hear you are still doing well even if it is in that God forsaken place. Hope to see you one of these days SOON!! Can't wait to here that you are home safe, I know your family misses you very much. Jake is so lucky to have such a strong and loving godfather and uncle. You always have a way with kids (i.e. Janie). We are praying for you and love you. Get home safe and soon. Posted by: annie on January 20, 2004 01:09 AMWill, Sounds like some "play" time is in order. Always works when my kids' volume's are tuned to high. I know there's not much to play with and you guys are stretched pretty thin there doing more than your fair share. Let us know if we all can do anything--maybe send something for the soldiers that they would like--I think I'd be safe in saying we'd be happy to do it. I'm sure happy to get an update on the little fella'. Can't wait to see a picture--maybe mom could post one for us???? Also glad to hear that the light is getting brighter. Chin up, keep your feet dry and your eyes on the prize: We miss you...Come home safe...And soon.

I was relieved to see you guys were still safe and sound...as much as you can be over there. Just you all hurry up and come home already! Posted by: Dianne on January 20, 2004 09:23 PMI have heard that a certain BC from Arkansas has a new woman in his life besides his wife,Rheta in Afjohn.Guess who? Posted by: ss on January 21, 2004 04:44 AMAlrighty Will! I see you're starting to think that light is a good thing...just keep half an eye out for a train...but hope it's a useless endeavor! I think you DID send some of that rain further desert-ward...it is 'rain weather' here in Tucson. No problem though...but I DO know about side-stepping mud puddles. Er, mud lakes I mean! Godspeed, Hello Will, Hello Will, Will, I have really enjoyed reading your letters. I will be happy to hear that you are home safe and out of that awful place. I hope you will continue to write letters about your "real" life. I feel as if I know you. Thanks for all that you have done - both the website and serving in the Military to protect me. Take care.

Who's Will Anyway?
What's All This Then?
As most of the regular readers of Rooba.net know, I have a few friends that have been sent or called up for the soon-to-be-conflict in Iraq. One such friend is Will aka Will not weasel or Will from Omaha or whatever other moniker he's using on my site that day.
Will is a pretty good writer and this is the collection of his writings. It'll be interesting to hear updates from a soldier's point of view, so I'll be posting them for all to read. Take care Will ~Captain Rooba
