"JBER" is the new program around here, it stands for Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson. Soldiers and Airmen both benefit from being in a joint location, where they have a lot of interaction with members of another branch of service, and an opportunities to learn. We enjoy the variety of people in our community too. Wes had a recent conversation with Soldier Mark:Wes: Mark, if you had it to do over again would you join the Air Force?
Mark: No, I like my job.
Wes: You could be an electrician in the Air Force too. Then you wouldn't have to go on those year-long deployments to Iraq.
Mark: Yeah, but I grew up a lot in Iraq.
Mark also shared with us a bit this past weekend about how he struggled through Iraq, and how God made very real changes in his life while he was there. It was really eye-opening into some aspects of the life of soldiers.
Please pray for our guys who are deployed now, that their minds and hearts would be protected to glorify God.
Thanks!
Elaine (and Wes)
