00:08.040 --> 00:10.350
this is staff sergeant given voice . L .

00:10.630 --> 00:13.820
I'm supply for the AWACS and this is

00:13.820 --> 00:16.740
specialist Alberto Romo here supporting

00:17.640 --> 00:19.862
the Patriot mission on the surface . It

00:19.862 --> 00:21.751
would appear they have nothing in

00:21.751 --> 00:23.973
common other than deploying to the same

00:23.973 --> 00:25.696
location . But they do share a

00:25.696 --> 00:27.918
connection when I heard he was coming .

00:27.918 --> 00:30.029
I wasn't sure because you know how it

00:30.029 --> 00:29.840
is in the military , you hear one thing

00:29.840 --> 00:33.490
and then two weeks later gets canceled .

00:33.490 --> 00:35.546
So I kind of waited a little bit and

00:35.546 --> 00:37.860
want to get too excited at first but I

00:37.860 --> 00:39.971
thought it was pretty cool to have my

00:39.971 --> 00:41.971
little brother in the same deployed

00:41.971 --> 00:43.804
location as I was . I was pretty

00:43.804 --> 00:45.971
exciting . I mean I haven't lived with

00:45.971 --> 00:48.027
her for the past 89 years already so

00:48.027 --> 00:50.193
and I haven't really seen her too many

00:50.193 --> 00:52.249
times from then , maybe two or three

00:52.249 --> 00:54.138
times here and there for a little

00:54.138 --> 00:54.110
family vacations and stuff like that .

00:54.240 --> 00:56.462
But I was pretty excited having someone

00:56.462 --> 00:58.518
to talk to while deployed is an easy

00:58.518 --> 01:00.740
way to relieve stress when that someone

01:00.740 --> 01:02.796
is family . It helps make it kind of

01:02.796 --> 01:04.962
like home . But I can talk to her just

01:04.962 --> 01:07.129
about our parents . Our mom , I have a

01:07.129 --> 01:09.351
little fun joke around , we talk to her

01:09.351 --> 01:11.518
mom on Skype all the time . Usually on

01:11.518 --> 01:10.870
Sundays when we get the day off

01:10.870 --> 01:12.981
together . She's always like you guys

01:12.981 --> 01:14.926
better be careful and she's always

01:14.926 --> 01:17.148
saying the same thing , you guys better

01:17.148 --> 01:19.092
be looking out for one another two

01:19.092 --> 01:21.203
siblings , one of the army and one in

01:21.203 --> 01:23.537
the air force . Is there a rivalry . No ,

01:23.537 --> 01:25.890
no , no , no I don't really see big

01:25.900 --> 01:27.789
arrival from that . I told him he

01:27.789 --> 01:30.011
should join the Air Force and I know he

01:30.011 --> 01:32.122
wanted to be different . No rivalry .

01:32.122 --> 01:34.178
No discontent , just an older sister

01:34.178 --> 01:36.122
and a younger brother , and joined

01:36.122 --> 01:38.178
their time together while deployed .

01:38.178 --> 01:40.511
Therefore , Staff Sergeant Anthony Kuhn ,

01:40.511 --> 01:40.220
Southwest Asia .
