hey everybody!!! sorry it's been a while. for some reason the comsq. thought that it would be funny to block the website. i guess that didn't fly for too long tough since so many people use this site. so, now that it's open again, i guess you all want to know what's going on. well, as everyone knows it's easter sunday tomorrow. that's not really my biggest concern, it's more to the fact that this easter also happens to be my wife's b-day. i think that eat's at me more than anything right now. plus last year , from good friday to easter: there was 37 attacks on the base and they are predicting the same thing for this year...
enough of the bad stuff... on a good note, i have only 24 days left in god's litterbox and we're all getting so excited to be home. all i want right now is a cold beer, my own bed, and my family there by my side. this deployment has been intersting for me. it's not only the first one but also, hopefully the last. i don't know what i'm going to do when i get to oklahoma. i'm hoping to findn a good job that pays at least what i get paid now....
hi heather. i'm glad things are going good for you again finally. if the delivery is on time or later we won't be there. me and rikki want to let the kids visit with everyone while we move out. i don't know how well that's going to work out though. i love you and i miss you. i'll see you soon...
hey caleb, it's nice to hear from you again. i'm glad they finally fixed the computer problem here. for some reason they like to block and un-block this wesite of and on. it's rather irritating,actually. well, i'll tell you what, when we get settled in oklahoma, i'll give you our phone # so you can call us and you can meet chevy. keep up the good work in your sports activities, they're good for you...
mom and dad, it's obvious that you guys have been a little pre-occupied with the whole truck ordeal. i'm glad it worked out and the insurance finally settled with you. i didn't think they would cover it either. but, hey good news for you, huh. i just came up with a funny little quote to brighten your day though. i don't know if it makes any sense but it's funny, nevertheless. "WHEN THE WORLD GETS IN YOUR FACE... POKE IT THE EYES!!!!!!" seems logical to me. anyways, i love you and i'll see you all soon...

dan and sheila... i got your package. thank you so much. i love liquorice and the chips are great too. i really like spicy foods. i'll let you know about the salsa though. i haven't get to try it yet. thank you so much for everything it really means alot to me...
nick... hey bro. that's okay, i understand you still haven't had alot of time to adjust. no ones gonna see my ugly mug for a while after i get home though(LOL). i know it's hard for you and everything but i gotta know one thing... why were you being so shady to mom and everyone. it seems like you spent more time in AR and KS than with mom and dad... i'm not trying to get on you about it, i really fear that your not coping well with your own problems, and that's not a good thing. you don't want to end up like i did. love you brother. make sure your taking good care of yourself and just remember...it's all just a game, play it by their rules and you can't go wrong. even with all the political bs that goes on behind the "show"
mom and dad... i'll let you know when i get the dvd. please, remember to call and check in on rikki, okay? i'll call just as soon as i get a phone card too. i love you and i miss you all so much. thank you for all your support.

3.22.06
thank you dan and sheila. it is much appreciated. i will be sure to let you know as soon as i recieve it.... brian i am glad you are showing your support. it makes me feel good as a person and an airman. having people you don't know give their gratitude is heartening, thank you again... hey caleb, sorry i couldn't bring the picture up here, it is filtered by our com. sqdn... thank you anyway though. when i get to oklahoma i'll make sure to look you guys up and you and my son can meet. he likes sports and hasn't had the opportunity to play much. ... to my loving lovely wife, i love you and miss you so much and i can't wait to get home to your arms again... kids, mind your mom and know daddy misses you and loves you too. i'll be home soon and i'm always thinking about you.... i want to thank everyone who has kept my wife in their prayers. she went through surgery yesterday for a cornea transplant if you didn't already know. thank you again and our best wishes are with you.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY HEATHER!!!!! I LOVE YOU

3.14.06
hey everybody!!! it's been a while since i could write. for some reason the server here was a little messed up and wouldn't it to the site. but it's fixed...for now. congratulations on your tournament caleb. i like the penguins and the avalance. i would really like to start playing again when i get to tulsa. i also like extreme sports like snowboarding and skateboarding. i'm gald everyone is still rooting for the home team. we keep you guys in our thoughts and can't wait to get back to civilization again. i can't really talk about what we do here day-to-day. but when i get home i can tell you face to face about some of the things, but over the net there's too much compromise... hey dad, that's a good idea about the dog thing. keep thinking of ideas and we'll put them into play as soon as we can. i love erveryone and you all are the ones that makes doing what we do so important. thank you all and god bless. here are some pics of a loading operation.

3.4.06
okay everyone it's crunch time... me and rikki need help badly. she is going in for eye surgery on the 21 of march. we need any of our family that is available to come to utah for a couple of weeks until her eye heals. we will pay for the trip here and back. she isn't going to be able to see for about a week but we need someone to come a day or two prior so they can find out what's going on around the house and kind of get an idea of the base layout. you'll be the one driving and cooking and cleaning. making sure the kids are ready for school. things like that. WE ARE BEGGING AND NEED SOMEONE TRUSTWORTHY. WE APPRECIATE ANY HELP WITH THIS.

2.28.06
hey everyone, i know i haven't written for a while. so here i am... caleb, good luck on your baseball tryouts. i hope you get the team you want. i never really was a baseball fan, but my son likes it. he collects the team batting helmets. i'm more into hockey... brian, thanks for that. i know how it feels to have someone come home safe. my brother was over here once before and i was at home. he's a marine from tulsa. now it's my turn in a few months. just march, april, and half of may.... to all my family. just a little longer, and i''ll be back. it's coming to the home stretch for me. don't worry, i'll be coming to visit as soon as i get settled in oklahoma. i have to go for now, gotta work.

2.23.06
that's okay mom, i'd rather have it on there. it's the only time i get to see you right now. i'm glad everyone likes the pictures.....baby, i love you and i miss you. tell the kids i'll call them this weekend. i really miss you all. i'm getting tired of this crap. i just want to come home now. it's just getting retarded over here. not only do they have us helping a lost cause, but now there's about to be a civil war breaking out around here somewhere. i say let them have it. let us come home and worry about our own country for a while. well i have to go now... talk to everyone later

2.21.05
thing's look good from here. it's not too late to send packages, mail only takes about 6 days to get here... Hey Heather! it's nice to hear from you. i love you too. i miss you. i know things arent really all together for you right now. just hang in there and you'll be fine. look at me, if i can do it you can. i'll see you soon.... i have some pictures to put on here. this time i actually took some of these.... here you go.

2.19.06
hey everybody... it's sure nice to see so many people writing. things are pretty slow where i'm at, as far as the war is going anyway. alot of broke jets though. so it's upload, then download...up, down, up, down all the time. it's kind of irritating really. other than that things are going prety smoothly. 2 1/2 months to go.. and then im on my way home.... sorry nick, ain't going to be able to make for the 4th. gotta get thing ready to come home. cleaning packing you know. well, that's all for now, i've got to get bak to work. love you guys. bye for now.

2.16.06
thanks for the picture caleb.. yes we do, like pictures and letters. anything that we can get that keeps us in touch with reality back home. it looks like you were having fun on that roller coaster. i haven't been to silver dollar city since i was about your age... maybe younger..... hey there little bekka. i haven't seen you in forever. how are things going. i hope your doing okay. how's your sister and bothers, and what's your mom up to these days. are you doing good in school, do you have a job... tell me anything that pops into that little head of yours. well, gotta go for now. talk to all of you later.

2.14.06
hello to all... things are still a little boring here right now... hi heaven, no, i don't know you but i don't care. it's nice to hear from anyone at this point. i'm almost done here. and it will all be over soon. it's nice to talk to you and hopefully you'll get to meet me and my family soon. make sure to keep brandon in line, i know he likes to act a fool.... to the young man caleb, thank you for your support. my parents have been trying to get more and more people involved with reachamarine and finally got it on the news. i hope everything is well with you and you see that there are people everywhere trying to keep our homeland safe.

2.12.06
NOW THAT'S WHAT I LIKE TO SEE!!! Everyone that has written me has just my day a qhole lot better thatn it started out.... you have no idea! anyway, things aren't so bad here... except the 14hr days, 6 day weeks, very little sleep, 7-10 guys to a room, and not dropping any bombs... at least the foods good. we'll got to go for now. later

2.8.06
greetings from iraq... it's been awhile since i last wrote on here. i must say that apparently i'm not the only one. why isn't anyone writing to me. i need to hear from people back home. it's the only thing that keeps me going. anyways, mom and dad, what the deuce?! i haven't got an e-mail pr message from you or anything in a few days. i'm always talking to rikki and the kids so don't worry about that. i want to know what's going on back there. weather, news, politics...whatever..... hey uncle jayson, yvonne, jay, brandon steven, heaven,grandma and everyone else. i wish i was going with you all to wynoka this year. i still have never been there and it's been so long since i've ridden a four wheeler or anything. i have a little go-cart, but i haven't been able to fix the brake problem unfortunately. it's only got a 1.2 hp engine but i still got it going pretty quick when it was working. ... grandma kelley, i know it's been a long time since we saw each other last. i still love you very much and i miss seeing you. i know we haven't really spent alot of time together since i was little. i hate that fact and now i'm afraid that i'm running out of time here in the military. so i'm getting out so we can come see you. the kids don't really know you either and i think that sucks royal coin-purse. i hope you all realize that it's not by choice that we have to be away from everyone. i made a choice and a commitment to my country and i have fulfilled that commitment and am proud to say that i am now a "Tuskegee Airman" and a war veteran of "Operation Iraqi Freedom." i finally have a peace of mind and have a little more of a mature mentality towards life and the things that have to be done. Everyone that has helped guide me while i was a child has contributed to what i have become. good and bad.. i hope i have grown to fulfill the expectations of my elders and am now who i'm going to be for the rest of my life. I still have some growing up to do, but for the most part i'm not going to change much, but be just a little wiser. i still like loud music and i still like to party, but my family comes first and i hope to grow old in the knowlege that i did everything to give my family what i didn't have and provided for them the way they are supposed to be..... now everyone, you don't have to wait for me to write to write to me.
i love each and everyone of you and i hope that you all feel you can sleep a little sounder knowing that i'm over here making sure your safe. that's all for now. -later p.s. here are some more pictures.

2.3.06
hello all... things are pretty quiet here. nothing much to tell yet. just saying hey and that i'm still alive. i love all of you and i'll see everyone soon.
-later

1.26.06
hello to all!!! i just want to thank the operators and creators of this wonderful site for allowing me to be posted here, eventhough i'm not a marine. it means a great deal to me and my family since both me and my brother are here at war. so.. thank you from the bottom of my heart. also, thanks goes out to my dad for taking the time to get this set up for me. the air force doesn't have a site like this and it's nice to know there are still people that actually care about what we do and what we stand for even though they are not immediate family or friend. but a fellow american. a patriot of freedom and what we have to go through to keep that way of life. i love each and everyone of you and i'm proud to be serving with the best this country has.
our job is to provide direct air support for our ground troops. marine, army and airforce alike. my role in this call of duty is an aircraft armament systems specialis. in short i'm a weapons loader. i make sure the bomb drops or that missile fires when it is most critical. if our bombs don't drop, it could mean the life of a marine in the field. so those of you reading now know a little more about me and how important it is for us to be here, please don;t "sell me short" because i'm not a marine. thank you again. christopher lee nease, SrA, USAF.

these are some pictures of our deployment here at balad ab, iraq. hope you enjoy them.

We finally got my dad to ride this roller coaster, and he and my older sister Rachelle are in the second row. I hope you enjoy it. Caleb Arjay

Hey there Buddy,Good Day to you.Your Brother called from Maine this Morning,I was getting a little nervous,two Marines were KIA yesterday in Fallujha.So now we have you to bring home safe.Those pics you sent yesterday didn't make it,a few went through on Moms e-mail.Of course,Moms always get their way.heheha.Are local CBS station is coming Sunday to do a story on you two Boys again as well as this Web Site.I have always been puzzled why more do not use this,this is a wonderful way to chat back and forth.Well not a lot going on,went to check on some sigs I had out and 5-6 of them have already been taken.They serve no purpose to any other company.Maybe they use them as place mats.Hahaha.. Ok Son time to end this chat,Remember I Love You,Miss You & Pray for you Daily."May the Force Be With you" Dad

2.10.06
hey hows it going? i know its been awhile, sorry about that. we still love you and think about you all the time. sometimes we'll start thinking about you guys and we'll break out the videos of when we all lived over at the corner house and we'd ride the 4-wheelers in the yard and the other fun stuff we use to do. have you told any of your buddies those stories? that would give em' a good laugh. think...... roof, trampoline......... huh! well chris all is good here everyone is being themselves (if that tells you anything). as soon as i figure out how to transfer some of the pictures i have downloaded of the family i will send them. then you will know what real jackasses look like.........ha! ha! we love you lots, be safe, hurry home.....uncle J/Yvonne

2.10.06
Hello my Son, all good with you still? I enjoy the pics you send,it helps pass the time alittle for you as well I'm sure. Your brother should be State side Now,hoping to get a quick call from him tonite sometime. Talked to Chevy and Rikki for a bit today. Mom and I are trying to keep from getting the Flu that is creeping around here. Wanted to check in on you, write if there is anything you need. We miss you alot and Pray every day.We got one home, now one to go."May the Force Be With You" Love Dad

2.8.06
hello son,
sorry i havent e-mailed latley,the last two days i have had the flu like bug.i am aching all over and just drainned.i usually check my e-mail nightly.but remeber not a moment goes by that you arent on my mind,in my heart and my spirit.dont get in too big of a hurry when you are house buying.its worth it to take your time and really shop around,its not like buying a car,a house is a bigger comitment,lots to know about and i just dont want you to have regrets when you do purchase your first house.well son i guess you know your brother is returnning state side around the 10th or 11th.one home,one to go...we love you and are here to help you as much as we can without over stepping our boundries .be safe,be strong,god speed to you....love you,your proud mom

2.5.06
Hey sexy, Glad to hear that ur still alive, but I'm pretty sure that we would have figured it out since u wrote us all. Ha,ha. Anyways Chevy's ears seem to be getting better, cause he's not yelling at everyone about the pain. Last night I took the kids bowling for Cevanna's Birthday and Cevanna kicked butt. She beat Chevy and Rye, But I beat them all. We had fun , but the whole time we kept talking about u and how u show Chevy how to bowl and stuff like that. The kids kepy remembering things that u do when u bowl or the times we went bowling together. It was kinda like u were there with us. So hurry home so we can go again and make some more of those great momeries. We all love u and can't wait to have u home. Kisses and hugs from home. Love U Always And Forever Ur Loving Wife.

2.5.06

Hello, baby. We are doing good. We have are ups and are downs, but we are all health and waiting for you to come home. Cevanna got an award for best reader in her class. And Chevy is doing alot better then the beginning of the year. He's finally at the 4th grade reading level. He tries so hard but he still gets frustrated withthe words. I was thinking of tring that new reading program called "EyeQ". What do u think? Well, babe, that's about all that's going on here right now. We love u and miss u like crazy. Can't wait for u to gat back, but u know me. Tthe kids keep me busy. Rye is getting better and better with the potty training, but she still has her days. She is also missing u a whole lot. She sleeps on or side of the bed. Well, got to go for now but I promise to right more later if not here it will be the other. Love Your Loving Wife

Well lookie there,I got you your own site finally.I had to use the photo you sent me,don't worry,I will get a few others posted.You too can post pics when & if you get more.I just got back from passing out flyers,trying to take advantage of this nice weather we have here in Oklahoma.Guess what? It is suppose to rain here tomorrow,it would be the first rain in like 120 days.Everything is the same,all is very good,hope the same for you.When you get a chance try to call,but like I said before,it is more important for the kids to talk to you then it is for Mom or I,we love you just the same.Oh yea,NICE HAIR-Cut. Ok kiddo got to run,"May the Force Be With You" Love always Dad
