It is 3:38 in the morning here (6:38 PM EST) on a Saturday Night..Well actually my Sunday morning but a Saturday night nonetheless in good 'ole NY.
Anyway I've now been here close to eleven months in the beautiful (ok not so beautiful, Middle East).
After all this time, I naturally do miss my family, but moreso I miss what I've missed. When I left, my four month old newborn daughter was in a baby carrier and my seven year old son had all his teeth, when I returned for 2 weeks of R&R leave, my daughter was defying gravity and actually scampering away from me and my son was toothless (sans incisors).
We have one more month to go. My troops and I have worked hard towards mission completion, because that's what we do. But years from now, the jury will still be out as to the political side to this mission. When you wear the uniform, the saying goes "Ours is not to reason why..." and for the most part that holds true for the good order of any unit. I now know though, that I will be strongly contemplating a future stint in politics.
That is all for my inaugaural post. Till next time...stand by.
