Back to Cedar (as posted by Trent Lyman)

Published by mblyman under Melting Pot

Well I just want to keep everyone updated on what is happening with me in Iraq without giving up top secrect information to the insurgents. I left Ramadi and the team I was working with about 2 weeks ago and came back to Cedar where I was at before. It is nice to be back amoung friends and familiar faces as well as away from all the danger that is in Ramadi. We don’t have much time left here before we all come home. I’ve been missing everyone a lot. Taylor has been emailing me that last couple of days which has been great. Kids are super. Besides that everything is normal. The hear is still stifling. Walking outside is like someone has the hair dryer on high and is pointing it right in your face. It should start to cool down right about the time we are leaving. I’ll be glad to be out of the heat and into the snow of Utah. Thanks everyone for your support. If you feel so inclined to send a package my address is now SPC Trent Lyman

Love you all and see you soon,

With my current MiTT team leaving soon and the replacement team already having a medic I will more than likely be going back to my unit down south were it is much safer. Although I have enjoyed being close to the combat zone (silly boys) I think that I would much rather prefer being safe until I can come home for good. I’ve been lucky and haven’t seen any combat or any US guys hurt. A couple of IA (Iraqi Army) soldiers were wounded and one killed. I have found that I really do like medicine which only reaffirms my desire to go to PA school. I’ve considered med school but I just don’t have the patience to go through that much school. I’ll keep you all updated on any new occurances. Much love
Trent
