Waving Bye-Bye

Ladies & Germs, my time here is just about up. According to my little time-counter I have just about 128 hours left onboard Camp Arifjan. For those of you bad at long division, that translates into just over four days. This time next week I’ll be waking up in my own bed next to my beautiful wife, probably by my two darling little girls. Please believe when I say I can’t wait.

This deployment has been an eye-opener for me. I’ve gotten to see how the senior leadership deals with issues and how their decisions affect how business is conducted at my level. It’s been educational and I’ve learned a lot. But as we Gen-X’ers say, “It’s been real, it’s been fun...but it hasn’t been real fun.” I got my little award and my eval’s been signed, so I’m ready to raise up outta here.

That said, this will be my last post in this blog before I head home. Not that it’s been real entertaining or eventful, but for those of you who’ve taken the time to read it from time to time, thank you. I’ll see you in a couple of days. Better start hydrating now...

Peace!
