and All the Ships at Sea!
Tomorrow, it's Graduation, then the 8-hour drive to the house, for a waiting pizza party with the Home Detachment.
Until Sunday, when Sarge moves out again for AT with the kids from Kentucky, for two weeks in the field. They already want to know all about what Sarge picked up in the course, so it's more classes for a few days.
So, if y'all don't see Old Sarge on the thread for the next few days, I think you understand what happened.
With that said, on to this one big Personal:
I have had a far easier time, going through some of the most intense training I have had in recent memory, than I might have had without the support, the humor, and the good times provided by the FReeper Canteen. All of the madcap and silly adventures, the mailings of cards and goodies and Care packages, and the steady shoulders of support when things got rough, have made this particular side trip a most memorable one. The Canteen is now a permanent part of my deployment packet, and I shall carry you all with me to my next destination, wherever that might be.
So, in keeping with the Canteen's Mission Statement, I'd call it "Mission Accomplished!"
Sarge will be in the area for a few hours, so Let's Have Fun!
SARGE
