So here we are...starting a family blog. Daisy and Panzer are playing(fighting) in the living room, and Sarah is shouting from the kitchen wondering if I want her to throw out the leftovers from homemade pizza...welcome to a normal day in the Lohman household at Ft. Knox.
We decided to start this blog because we know there are several people who would like to stay up-to-date with what is happening in our lives. Of course we will still do our best to stay in touch via email and phone calls, but we figured we can post here once or twice a week with major updates so people can check in on our lives whenever convenient.
The first big news that I'm not sure everyone has heard yet, is that Sarah just got a teaching job here on post! She has been teaching math at the Sylvan Learning Center in Elizabethtown and substitute teaching on post... but since she got here in May has been trying to get an actual full-time teaching job, so it's pretty awesome that she finally got in! She'll be teaching 3rd graders at Van Voorhis Elementary (literally, right down the road from our house)... starting in a couple of weeks.
I'm still plugging away as a platoon leader, and now have 12 guys in my platoon, 6-8 away from being full strength. I just got word that I may be heading down to Ft. Polk, Louisiana for a couple of weeks in March to help evaluate units that are preparing for deployment. Should be a good experience, and I'm glad we're going down in March, and not in the middle of summer. Things come about quickly around here, so I know this summer will be here before we know it. In July-August time-frame the entire Brigade (about 4000 Soldier) will be heading to Ft. Irwin, CA for what's called the National Training Center (NTC). It's a month of running missions and being evaluated on our readiness to deploy, which will be either the end of this year or early 2011.
That's it for now... Daisy has Panzer's head completely inside her mouth right now...
