He Called!

Brett was able to call and it was wonderful to hear from him!

They are at Ft. Bliss but they are staying at a newly built facility that is actually located in New Mexico. For the first several days, they didn't have power in their barracks. Now they have power...at least on one side of the facility. Brett said it will be very nice when the construction is completed but for right now it's sort of hit and miss as to what is done. Therefore, charging cell phones, etc is limited at the moment. He did say they really didn't have restrictions on using their cell phones it just needs to be charged!

At this point they are still hurrying up and waiting. He said they are having long lines as equipment is checked out to them and the entire group has to wait their turn. He did say the food was pretty good. Enough so that he thought he would need to watch it or he'd really put on the pounds. Moms like to hear that though!

Other than that, he didn't know too much. He had an appointment today to get an eye exam so he can get his glasses replaced. He's been going without because he said the sand is too much for his contacts so I'm sure it will be nice for him to see again.

He had an address for the time he is in Texas. It is:

SPC Dibbern, Brett
Mobilization Deployment BDE
530th MP BN HHC
Building 2453
Fort Bliss TX 79916

Please feel free to drop him a note of encouragement. I know he'd really appreciate that!
