Tropic Lighting

I was again blog surfing... Better than reading our newspaper which is only cut an pastes off the internet, when I came across the Mil Blog, Sgt Hook. I need to stop here and thank the guy that started it all for me with blogs and blogging Lt Smash I have followed Gulf War II through his eyes really and it was always insightful.

As for Sgt HookI took a read and realized that this guy is a "Brah" an enlisted home boy stationed on Oahu with the 25th IDL, which was deployed this past week for Afghanistan. This is the largest deployment of troops from bases in Hawaii since the Vietnam Conflict, with not just enlisted personnel, but our own reservists from Hawaii as well as American Samoa, and the Marshall Islands. The nickname for the 25th IDL is Tropic Lightning You can check out the 25th on this link. There are some great pictures on this site.
Im linking him on my blogroll so we can follow his adventures on the sand pile.

I have added a few more blogs to my lists. My thinks to all of the bloggers that have commented on my blog and my writings and have generously placed me on their blogrolls.

Early night tonight. I have a ton of work to do at the store. Computer trouble there too. I think its the humidity. We have had 14 inches of rain in the Puna district with major flooding and washouts of roads and a small bridge up in Kohalla District.
