I've been parolled!

[WYODodge]

I have bribed the guards almost in full [don't get alarmed, only a joke] and time is nearing to leave this joint!

Though I can't compete with other fella's [& ladies]for time spent away from home, however I can say this deployment has been unusually difficult. This is/was #5 in 4 years... This one will prove to be the longest thus far. :kick:

Looking forward to driving to Bandimere and meeting some new faces!

[UNBROKEN]

Congrats man

Nope. Just re-enlisted back in April, one day prior to my 10 yr. mark. (joke>> sold my soul for another 5 + yrs and 5 tax-exempt figures, $$$$$)

Honestly, needed the money to erase debt. A short term overseas move and buying a house on the return do not come with out costs that 'Sam and the VA home loan just don't cover. :kick: :bang

5 figures would have equiped my truck with the tremendous wish list I have in short order and still have funds left over... :drool:

Thanks for the support, fella's!

[Jim Fulmer]

I hear you, I'm at 16 now and on shore duty...the good life! I wonder how long it will be before they pull me out for an I.A. I should finish here and retire, don't figure I'll pickup Senior Chief without going back to the boat and I'm not sure if I want to go back as a 46 year old....too old for this Sh** stuff!

Hope you get to make it to Denver, there will be alot of stuff there.

Could make a comment on AF Sr NCO rank advancement but that would be wrong thread & :wrong:

I know exactly how you feel about the T.O.F.T.S. ......... I am nearing 33 and most all [officer and enlisted] the people I work with are 5-10 years younger than me and polar opposite of my personality... damn video gamers and techno music ........:bang :wrong:

Barring any unforseen problems, you can expect to see me there. I am having a t-shirt made and will post a picture of it as my avatar for anyone to recognise as who is wearing it.

[WYODodge]

All,

This will most likely be my last chance @ any posting/email til I reach a hotel along the way back. I work tonight, tomorrow, and move out of this room {a.k.a. 12' x 16' closet with a room-mate/co-worker} on Thursday losing Internet @ same time. Will have to work Friday and after which my sole focus is all about getting the _________________________ out of here.

You can send replies to this, just know they may not be seen until long after I reach the house [hopefully] next week. The next 7-12 days are with any hope going to be blur of my memory. [mass qty. beer & hard-alcohol @ hotel; although mass qty. is gonna hurt after being with out for 5 + months :kick: :doh: ]

:thankyou2: for all the support
