First post, not the last

I realize now that you have to most more often than...never. Anyway, for those who do not know, I'm in living this summer in Spotsylvania, Virginia. I am working for the U.S. Navy (USN) and interning at the Missile Defense Agency (MDA) in the Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD) program, known as MDA/AB. Recently we've made the news with the satellite shoot down on February 20 (my birthday, no less). Look at this site to see video clips: http://blog.wired.com/defense/2008/02/video-pentagon.html

Anyway, I'm traveling a good deal with my job (as Becky can attest to) and enjoying life. I've been to Washington, D.C. many times already for both work and tourism. For anyone reading this who's never been, you are definitely missing out. Even if you aren't a history buff, you will just be amazed to be around everything. Recently I've visited the Battle of Fredericksburg sites, Monticello (the home of Thomas Jefferson, 3rd President of the USA [POTUS]), the National Archives, the Smithsonian, and many other places.

Anyway, the purpose of this blog is for Becky and I (or I and Becky, to get equal name time!) to share our day to day/week to week experiences from Atlantic to Pacific. Also, ask questions if you want to know more about anything. I'll try to post every day or every other day from here on out.

Until you read again,

Russell (Rusty, Russ, son, etc., your pick)
