Can someone help me find HDL?
After doing a little research, I figured out that HDL was based at Ft. Stewart. This is the home of the 3rd Infantry Division (Mechanized). As I'm sure ya'll have seen from the tv reports, this is one of the most active advancing divisions in Iraq right now.
I'm just guessing here, but going on the approximate date he was deployed and that he might be with a scout platoon, I'm figuring that he's with the 3-15 Infantry.
Do anyone have any input or guesses on this?
Any ideas on Beanbagster? Was he based at Ft. Lewis?

I have thought the same on HDL. He is definitely in harms way. Bean has some tough duty as well. He specializes disposal and handling of un-explode ordanance, mines etc. His specialty could keep him in Iraq for years.
ZX6Rgirl seems to know the most. But I think she's deployed to Germany now.

Sorry for the miscommunication guys...I was in Louisana for JRTC rotation the last month. HDL is my other half and we are both stationed at Ft. Stewart, GA. He is in 3rd Infantry Division but he is in 1-64 Armor. He is a scout. I am in the medical field. Last news I had is that he was near the zoo in Bagdad. Last letter I received was dated 17 March 03 before the invasion. I am hoping to hear from him in the near future. Now that things have died down the army should be setting up morale calls. If I hear anything from him I will post the news. If you would like his address it is:
SSG JAMES WOLKENS II
HHC/SCOUTS/1-64 AR, 2BCT, 3ID
UNIT # 93205
APO AE 09303-3205
A letter is normal mail price 35 cents. Thanks for all your concern. Take care.

Yeah!!!! We are preparing to go to Afganistan or some other interesting place. Hopefully I won't go until I at least SEE HDL. Living together can get rough sometimes when you are both in the Army...lol. Well, as they say it is a volunteer service.

I think we're scheduled for another rotation in the next couple of years. Already been once, don't need to go back!! I got sent to the PEHA because of a driver mistake, and then got "killed" again on the way back out to the box. MAN, was I pissed!!!
Seems like every time you go to Polk, they issue MILES gear. We got issued MILES just training for an SFOR mission back in 2000. When we came to Stewart and trained with the 3rd, they knew what we needed for sure. I'm sure we'll ge to go somewhere pretty soon, too. Enhanced Brigade for me....
Hope you can spend some time with HDL. I know how it feels to be separted from your loved ones!! Good Luck!!

No doubt the miles suck. The Army has new and improved but you can believe that I have never used it. Looks like HDL is SUPPOSE to be home in 4 to 6 weeks... if all goes well. He told me to say he won't make DG5 but he is ready to start planning DG6...lol. Take care.
