I got a phone call from Mizu today. He is doing good. sick with a cold right now but getting better. he is going to try to be home for Christmas. He should be home on the 19th of December, Then he goes back to basic for a bit then off to the real deal for 2 months to 6 months then its off to Iraq for 15 months. So if there is anything you want to add or say feel free. OOOOOPS! Forgot to add he said to say hi to everyone and that he misses you knuckle heads.
