BOISE, Id – Idaho soldiers with the 116th Cavalry Brigade Combat Team have spent the last nine months in Iraq. Now they’re flying back in small groups. They first arrive at Joint Base Lewis-McChord near Tacoma, Washington. There the soldiers go through what’s known as “out-processing” for about ten days. They get a health check, turn in their weapons, and figure out legal and personnel issues. Scott Ki is at Lewis McChord today to talk to the soldiers who are coming home. I asked him what a typical day on the base was like.
As Senior Producer of our live daily talk show Idaho Matters, I’m able to indulge my love of storytelling and share all kinds of information (I was probably a Town Crier in a past life). My career has allowed me to learn something new everyday and to share that knowledge with all my friends on the radio.
