Dubuque Newsletter

Sorry it's been such a long time since I've updated. It has been a crazy month, I moved to Texas and immediatly started my job here as a Petroleum Landman. I've been really busy with that but it has been making the time fly!

Landon has been doing well, they were in Guam a little while ago and while he was there he and some friends were able to go snorkeling! Guam, I'm told, is a very tropical, beautiful island, much like Hawaii.

I know he felt like he was on more of a vacation than a deployment during his time in Guam! I'm glad he had the opportunity to do this though!

While in Indonesia he had a little bit of bad luck though. While sitting under a tree, reading a book and enjoying the afternoon, a big tree branch fell on his face! Luckily he was wearing sunglasses that protected his eyes, but he still had to have three stitches above his left eye and one on his nose. He thought it was pretty funny, and his shipmates wont let him live it down, I however didn't think it was quite so funny, but I'm glad he is fine.

At least he is smiling...

And finally, here is a newsletter from the USS Dubuque. It talks a little bit about what the Marines did while they were in Indonesia. I hope you enjoy reading it.
