The Bens

Well, another troop of mine is safely on his way home. I always seem to wait until they are gone before you know who they are. I've slipped in his name a few times, but you may have thought it was a typo. His name is Ben Wagenhals. Great first name, right? At first it was strange saying your name all day long, but you surprisingly get use to is quickly.

Ben is actually his middle name, but he has used it most of his life. It was great working with Air Force again (sorry Tom -- USN). Ben isn't 100% Air Force though, his heart is with the Army. He hopes to become an Army officer in the near future.

I've always been lucky having troops who like guns. I can shoot, but I don't especially like to. It is reassuring that I have troops who like to "play war".

Two Bens! What are the odds?



Best of luck Ben. Tomorrow it will be weird not saying my name all day.

One week to go, Ben. Who will be there to say good bye to you? Since we didn't hear about Ben until more recently I didn't think he would beat you home.
