HOME

The rumors are flying with dates for us to go home. I know how the rumor will is but at the same time it makes me anxious. I am ready for us to POP SMOKE, as my old Commander would say.

We do have dates to have certain things done by. Some of these things include inventory and Customs for our tuff boxes. When that time rolls around it will seem more real to me.

There are some issues I have about going home. A little over a year ago, I left all I knew. I left my family, my job, and my life. Now, in a few months I have to do it all over again. I will leave all I have known for the last year or so. Will I be able to sleep without the sound of choppers and big booms? Will I be able to adjust to kids in the house? Will I be able to adjust going back to my job? This will be a big adjustment for me. Just as was coming over here. Anyways, I am glad I took this deployment. I have grown in some ways. I have had time to do some soul searching and take care of some of my own issues. That is good.

Until next time.
