Around the base...


is where I spent most of all first week walking. Only high ranking NCO's and officers(and there dependants) can drive on the base. There are also taxis all over base but they are driven by the Korean folks. I have a bike given to me by Adam but have yet to ride it. I plan on finding the subway right off base this weekend and would love to do something adventurous. On the right is a picture of just one of the clubs on base named The Mustang Club. There are 4 restaurants, a coffee shop, slot machines and a night club here.

Even though I spent the last 5 years around the F-16 Fighting Falcon, I will be working on the A-10 Warthog while I am here in Korea. It is a little different than the Falcon, however it is tougher and is known as a tank killer. This aircraft really made a name for itself during the first gulf war in 1990. We'll see how that works out.
On the left is a picture of a typical dormitory here at the base. This one is brand new and opened up last year. I have been in the hotel on base called Turumi Lodge and have been quite inpressed. Starting tomorrow I will be in temporary lodging which isn't that bad, but not nearly as nice as the hotel. If anyone wants to come and visit me, they can stay in the lodge. Except Leslie, she is staying with me. I can't wait for my momma to come here in June.

Do not open the comment from shakadal. It's a virus.

Leslie is absolutely right about the previous entry being a virus. Make sure you've got protection!

Hi Uncle Jason, Happy St. Patrick's Day. I miss you. Sammy wrote that
himself. I told him what letters to press, but they were his words. We registered for kindergarten last week. You won't recognize him when you see him. How are you? Hope everything is going well. We miss you.

Love, Taunya and Sammy

Hi Jason,
Have a very Happy Easter! I'm sure they are keeping you very busy, like those 12 hour shifts that clif had written about.

Love, MOM
