AUGUST 2006, MEETING THE PARENTS
Julie flew home to Dallas and met my parents for the first time! They got along great! I was relieved. My parents bought a new house. I became section NCOIC and took responsibility for my first two soldiers as an NCO. One went to airborne school. I completed the tattoo on my back. |

JULY 2006, WORK WORK WORK
This month all I did was work. My friends were out of town and everyone was on pre-deployment leave. I got to take leave at the end of the month, when I visited my parents in Dallas. I went to a Texas Rangers game with my dad. |

JUNE 2006, TRAINING AND TATS
I trained more soldiers on crew-served weapons and helped them qualify on their personal weapons. I also helped with convoy procedures. All that time outside gave me a tan/farmer's tan! I scored a 700V/670Q/6.0W on my GRE! I got my clearance and job back! I got a back tattoo stenciling (to be filled in later) and one extending down the length of my arm. |

MAY 2006, FAREWELLS AND BEGINNINGS
I went to Nashville to drink with my buddies before one left to a 2 month school. I conceived this idea. I trained new soldiers on the M4A1, M240B, and .50 cal. |

APRIL 2006, LOVE OF GUNS AND WOMEN
I took my block leave to Montreal to see Julie for two weeks, then a week in Dallas to see my parents and brother. I got trained in how to train soldiers how to use various weapons. I shot various shotguns, AKs, and H&K MP5s for the first time. |

MARCH 2006, JUMPS & EGGS & LIFE
I finished re-deploying from Iraq. Easter marketing brought my favorite treat, the Cadbury Creme Egg! Brendan, Ryan, and I drove down to Nashville to see V for Vendetta on IMAX before we all went on leave. I visited a sexy sexy Julie in Montreal! I did an airborne jump off a C-130 ramp. |

WHAT IS WUNTSAH?
Inspired by the photographer Nicholas Nixon, we at the Wuntsah Project wanted to create a simple product to spur on further development of the idea of tracking your personal aging and development over time. See our complete write-up for more information and inspiration. |
