New Years Update

Not a ton to report for this year. I have pretty much been stuck in a deployment time warp. Consequently pretty much nothing happened toward most of my goals. We got out of debt which was cool. Also we bought a nice used all wheel drive SUV that Wifey is very happy with. In terms of my various preparedness goals I saved some cash but since communications are difficult and it is generally a hassle I didn’t make any substantial purchases. When I go home and get around to it I will figure that all out. After doing that I will see where things are and set some new goals. I have something big in mind so a lot of the little stuff might reappear on this years list. The rest of the stuff on my list just really didn’t get done. I was kind of busy with this whole war thing and in my off time it wasn’t a priority.

In any case for 2012 I have three simple resolutions that I may be able to stick to:
-Make up for lost time with Wifey and kiddo.

-Continue a structured physical fitness regimen outside of standard Army pt stuff.

-Don’t give unsolicited advice to anybody, ever.

As for preparedness I have got to do some thinking on that one. I do however have an overarching goal.
I am going to organize our gear and equipment into modular systems to meet a variety of needs. We’ve got the gear and supplies but I am slightly ashamed to say our systems have fallen into a state of disrepair due to repeated moves and lack of upkeep. I plan to fix this and get the right stuff properly organized and packaged in a thought out manner. I will fill in small gaps as they become evident but most of the stuff is already there.  I may tweak or otherwise address this goal in a future post.
