Soon. Less than 8 weeks to go for that.
Now you see why sometimes my patience gets thin. Despite good R&R's I can get cranky.
I have a lot of admiration for the troops here. The guard and reserves have done very well, but we've over burdened them.
The equipment is wearing out....need more, need some improvements.
And I've got enough air and land miles to have frequent traveler status...
But most troops regardless of branch are in high spirits and I really like being here with them. Ok, so just because I rub elbows with them doesn't mean any rubs off, I know!! lol...
Keep your head down ping.

My aunt, through the church, has been busy sending food to the soldiers. So, I don't think they have a shortage on good and healthy American food. Mostly nonperishable food like crackers, candy bars, and canned meals like raviolis and soups. So, at least we know we're keeping our soldiers well-fed. More, though, should be done on equipment. I wonder if there is something we can do with equipment?
