Another thing for Wog Day if they wear contacts don't wear them, Katie made the mistake of wearing hers and she said her eyes were burning so Bad that she ended up taking them out and finishing the last part with no contacts or glasses.

Make sure to tell those who are participating in Wog day to wear all old stuff, Katie said after the last one everyone threw all the stuff they wore overboard because it was all so gross!!

Hi Cheri,
Sorry to hear about Your Loss, Thoughts and Prayers are with You and Your family.
Biggg Huggggssss for You!!
That sucks about the Red Cross, I've never had to deal with that but have always wondered how it worked, TY for posting and telling us.
Hang in there.
I talked to Katie last night she said it's been so Hot & Very humid there. She did say that they will be doing a Wog Day for sure.

Might be, I tried to blow it up bigger, but it was blurry, so no real details....
I'd like to have been a fly on the wall during the rebelling - you did see the flag! ha ha ha ha ha

You got mine Kathleen! :-)
Linn, that is Patrick to the right of her - I didn't recognize him either with those glasses on. Havn't seen him wear any since boot camp, but I guess he was afraid of all the stuff they do to them, and losing his contacts. The picture states other names, carter, hennen, galvez. pacheco, I don't want to list their first names. Yes, its 2009's.

I guess you heard about our friends, the South Koreans. I'm sure our Blue Ridge has made many friends during their drills and exercises together.
