After my five months of Officer Basic Course at Fort Sill, Oklahoma, Candace and I are finally together again, living at Fort Hood, Texas. Candace writes curricula for a California program that enables migrant workers’ children to earn high school credits that are accepted statewide. I now am a platoon leader in Bravo Battery of the newly reactivated 2-77th Field Artillery of the new Fourth Brigade of the Fourth Infantry Division. We are scheduled to deploy to Iraq this fall and are in the process of receiving and training new soldiers.
