What’s the point?

You don't want none.

You don't want none.

I know there are a lot of pointless blogs (and web pages for that matter) out there.  My goal with this is not to just post my personal diary out there, because I don’t think anyone really would care that much.  The point of this blog is to keep all you friends and family updated as to whats going on with me while I prepare to deploy and while I am overseas.

I have never kept a blog before, so please bear with me in the beginning.  Hopefully it will get better and better as I go.

Please post comments, write me back, send me pictures or emails, or anything else.  I would love for this to become a two way street, and possibly even a way for us all to stay a little better connected.  If you want to email me directly, you can do so at geiseljo(at)yahoo.com.

Thanks for showing up, I’ll try to keep it interesting =)

-Joe

    I am about to deploy to your area to replace the 27th, could you send me some pictures of your FOB, area where you soldiers are living, and duties?

    MSG Feliz, as I’m sure you’ll understand, I cant pass you that kind of information for security reasons. My suggestion to you would be to contact the unit you are replacing and ask the specific person you are replacing for more information.

    Thanks, and hopefully we will have a great deployment!

    The blog is not intended to be about a deployment. It is more about a person staying in touch with family and friends.

    It seems Lt has been very careful about not giving out any intel, (read the answers above when he was questioned about the deployment from outsiders and also see the opsec page). The Operation mission statement is public knowledge and is updated regularly at its own website.

    This blog is about a great young man dedicated to his family and serving his country.

    If however if you see something that is a security issue how about a little constructive critsism rather than just a slam?

    i agree with (dad), dont be so harsh man geez! As were deploying soon I’ am sure the LT is not the only one who is putting out info on te deployment and as (dad) stated none of it is confidential. I’ m not creating a blog but however my family especially my wife is up to date. Keep up the good work sir.

    no problem kt. I hope that your boyfriend is well. My unit and I are the direct replacements for the 27th. I want to say thank you for sticking with him because I know that loved ones pay the biggest price during deployment. I’m sure you must be very excited to be getting him back soon!

    take care,
