Welcome Stardust Listeners! Thank you for joining us on United We Roll
Tuesday, the 23rd day of Aug, 2011.
On today's show, we will check in with two deployed members, one in the Army and one serving with the Air Force. Each of our guests share a wealth of information with us that will touch on a large variety of military service and lifestyle issues. Remember, if you are not able to stay with us through the afternoon from 2-4pm Central today, this show will repeat again tomorrow, Wednesday, Aug 24th at 6:30pm Central.
(2:08pm) For our first visit, we are joined by Army 1LT Calvin King, who is on his 4th deployment since Jan 2002 and, as he says, his boys are growing up while he is gone. 1LT King holds down a minimum of two areas of responsibility with C Co/299th Brigade Support Battalion, 2-1 AAB as the Brigade Medical Supply Officer and also serves with the Convoy Commando Security which provide supplies to other bases and camps. This dedicated officer provides medical supplies for a brigade of around 4,000 soldiers as well as medical maintenance support to several battalion aid stations. Four deployments since Jan 2002 is a lot of time away from home. We cannot begin to thank 1LT King, his fellow soldiers and all their families for all they have done and still do every day.
(2:59pm) How would unit activities and events be documented if there were not Historians to collect, edit and make sure the information gets to its destination? Surprisingly there are not a lot of military Historians, but we have the honor of visiting with Mr. Faron Thompson this afternoon, who is currently on deployment with the 376th AEW at Transit Center Manas in Kyrgyzstan. As the Historian for the 376th, Mr Thompson is documenting all that goes on from the many units and offices around that base. The records from today will be the history of tomorrow.
We would like to express our appreciation to some folks without whom the visits this week would not be possible. Our deepest appreciation goes to Army CPT Selina Tolonen and Air Force TSgt Tammie Moore.
MAY GOD BLESS YOU ALL & MAY GOD BLESS AMERICA!
