I may have to back out of my build for now :(

Josh,

I'll second that beer thing. I know I could use a cold one right about now. I enjoy what I do and I'm really glad to have the chance to serve my country. I have been in since 1981 and I am on year 26 of this carreer. This my first time in a Combat Zone and I am doing ok. I would like to thank all those who have gone before me; Especially those who have served in WW2, Korea, Vietnam. Those to me are the true heroes. I have a computer, I can email and web cam, send IM messages everchance I get. I am only over here for another 270 days.(Who is counting ) Those other Veterans, had no luxury like we have today and spent a hell of alot more time in combat than I am. I understand why they call them the greatest generation.

I am proud to be called an American Soldier, but I am only one in a long line who have gone before me. When this tour is up I will settle back into my daily life with God and my family. Then get my Cobra(even the wife talked about that last night) and enjoy life.

Josh me and you when this is over will have to tear up the streets and talk about war stories. Believe me I have had a few already.

Oh and I could use a HOT SHOWER and keep the water on for a few hours.

I can't wait to get this over with and get back to my family and get rolling on the cobra! My wife and I had several goals to meet when i came out here. They are how I ended up deciding to come in the first place. We've met some of those goals but not all! If I leave here without accomplishing them all, i think i may be more disappointed with myself later. I'm going to try my best to stick it out. My wife is going to help me out, and we're gonna get through it together! I'm sure there will be bumps ove rthe next 8 months, but we'll get over them!

landerson, your company does actually have openings for me in SC! I'm a tech controller by title, but I can do anyhting from routers, satcom, some server stuff, computers, mobile wireless, radios, etc etc, I hold a clearance which is definitely a good thing to have when searching for jobs. thanks for the link, I'm going to keep an eye out for jobs when the time nears!

Steve, thanks, I can't speak for Gregg, but I'm pretty good here on stuff! I could use a beer though! haha Not alot.. just 1! Just something to take the edge off!
