Hello merry christmas , everyone merry

00:02.380 --> 00:04.324
christmas to you too . How are you

00:04.324 --> 00:06.547
doing today on this christmas day ? How

00:06.547 --> 00:08.713
I'm doing pretty good . Um , me and my

00:08.713 --> 00:10.936
roommate had some presents to open from

00:10.936 --> 00:12.769
our families so we did that . It

00:12.769 --> 00:14.658
competes . I got stuff . It was a

00:14.658 --> 00:16.713
pretty good morning . There you go .

00:16.713 --> 00:18.936
Good deal . Now tell us again , tell us

00:18.936 --> 00:20.936
where you're stationed with and who

00:20.936 --> 00:23.400
you're stationed with right now . I'm

00:23.400 --> 00:25.730
currently stationed in blood Iraq . I'm

00:25.730 --> 00:28.320
with the five 31st transportation

00:28.330 --> 00:32.130
detachment out of Manhattan Kansas . So

00:32.140 --> 00:34.700
we are all 80 november's which is

00:34.700 --> 00:36.867
transportation management . So we do a

00:36.867 --> 00:38.990
lot of tracking . It's basically the

00:38.990 --> 00:42.250
army's version of Fedex so most okay ,

00:42.260 --> 00:45.130
track a lot of convoys . We uh , track

00:45.130 --> 00:47.463
a lot of equipment , that sort of thing .

00:47.463 --> 00:49.463
Great . We certainly appreciate the

00:49.463 --> 00:51.630
work you guys are all doing over there

00:51.630 --> 00:53.741
for us . Is this your first time away

00:53.741 --> 00:56.080
from home on christmas ? This is

00:56.080 --> 00:58.191
actually my first time away from home

00:58.191 --> 01:00.136
on christmas but this is my second

01:00.136 --> 01:02.358
deployment . My last deployment . I was

01:02.358 --> 01:04.413
lucky enough to actually be home for

01:04.413 --> 01:06.302
christmas and new years before we

01:06.302 --> 01:08.680
deployed . So that's a good deal . Tell

01:08.680 --> 01:11.230
us what's the hardest part about being

01:11.230 --> 01:14.740
away right now . The hardest part about

01:14.740 --> 01:17.290
being away right now is being away from

01:17.290 --> 01:19.450
my husband . We just got married in

01:19.450 --> 01:22.110
february and he is currently stationed

01:22.110 --> 01:25.300
in Speicher Iraq . So we're so close

01:25.300 --> 01:27.830
from each other yet so far apart so

01:27.830 --> 01:29.774
he's right there , but he's so far

01:29.774 --> 01:32.190
because I'm never going to see him so

01:32.200 --> 01:34.570
so much . That's probably the hardest

01:34.570 --> 01:37.470
part . Yeah . Tell us is there anyone

01:37.480 --> 01:39.702
including your husband he would like to

01:39.702 --> 01:41.758
wish you a very merry christmas to ?

01:41.758 --> 01:43.890
Yes , actually I'd like to wish my

01:43.900 --> 01:46.820
family very christmas , my mom and dad

01:46.820 --> 01:49.160
down in Emporia and other watching . I

01:49.160 --> 01:51.760
miss you guys so much , I love you and

01:51.760 --> 01:53.871
also my sister and her family , she's

01:53.871 --> 01:56.480
actually expecting a new baby anytime

01:56.480 --> 01:58.591
soon and so I'm going to be an answer

01:58.591 --> 02:00.758
again . It's very , very exciting . So

02:00.880 --> 02:04.250
all of them to awesome . Sounds good .

02:04.250 --> 02:06.870
Amber merry christmas to you , merry
