Bright Star-Egypt 2009

We left Ft. Bragg and tactically jumped into a desert in Egypt after flying 16 hours up in the air. We did one more friendly jump with coalition forces. Provided chaplain's ministry of presence and managed to conduct one religious service.

Foreign Jump

Yesterday, we had our practice run (jump and actions on the objective) with coalition forces. We end up getting Egyptian, German, Kuwaiti, and Pakistani jump wings. All allied forces were surprised by US chaplain jumping with their jumpers on a mission.

pay day activity

During our pay day activity, I gave chaplain's brifing to new comers and suicide awareness prevention brief. It has been almost 18 years ago that I participated in payday activity with class A again.

DC Trip

First time in my life, I visited DC and Army Walter Reed Hospital. With my BN Sr leadership, we visited SGT Hoxie, who was injured during Afghanistan surge with 1-325 AIR two years ago. The visitation moved my heart and brought more respect to veterans of OIF and OEF.

Spiritual Fitness Run

I led the fist Bn spiritual fitness run. First I took Soldiers through golf course run about over 4 miles and stop 3 times b/w the run to give spiritual points. When we came back from the run, we prayed and sang and gave out St. Michael's pendant. The patron of airborne paratroopers.

first sand box

Last weekend, I made a sand box for my daughters. It was not easy process, but I managed it. Angeline kissed me for what I've done. I just need to hire people to lay out fences around our back yard. Taking care of the lawn is my duty. Both girls love to ride on a mower.

The City of Wilmington

This is a very historical city where you find many civil war artifacts and buildings. Unlike Calfornia nor the West coast, you rarely see Asians around the streets of Southern States. The city was beautiful and clean. We stayed in the Hilton Hotel during our BDE Strong Bond.
