A little of our life at Camp Atterbury

September 6th 2009 by Lil Ship
We have been at Camp Atterbury, IN since the 21st of August. Since our arrival we have gone through Soldier Readiness Processing (SRP) that covers everything from administrative records, medical, pay, and overall readiness for deployment. After that we worked in our assigned sections in Task Force Falcon HQ to support the seven Task Forces we support. Those Task Forces come from approx. 12 different states and equal about 1400 soldiers. We also train on various "Army" tasks so our skills are sharp and we are ready for "the worst day in Kosovo".
Dallas and I don't see each other much since we work in different sections and have seperate barracks.
Today we started 24 hour operations for a huge exercise to see how all our different parts work together. I drew the short stick and will be on nights; working the 7pm to 7 am shift. Dallas got lucky and will work the day shift.
I have posted some pics from my co-workers camera to give you an idea of how we live and work.
We look forward to hearing from you all and going on a pass together in about 3 weeks.
Love and miss you all a ton!
Trish and me
My co-worker. Her husband is deployed in Africa and she has twin boys (5) and a 3 year old girl...

Well, I finally got a moment or maybe I should say I took a moment to look at this site. Sorry. I enjoyed the photos and the stories. What a huge office you have WOW!! :) Sounds like things are moving right along and you are getting closer to coming back home!!! YA!!!
We had frost last night already. I was not ready for it so I don't know if it did my flowers in. Oh well, my flower garden sucked this year. Everything was so late in coming up.
Well, I am at work doing this so I best get busy. Just wanted to say hi to your guys. Take care. DS
