Our ship has quite literally come in! The last few days have been pretty grueling, but only two more convoys down to the port and we'll be, no kidding, done.
I'll hang around until all my guys are safely airborne, then I'll be hauling butt with a duffel bag in each hand and a ruck on my back, looking for the proverbial "first thing smokin'". Got an ace in the hole, a Navy Seabee buddy working redeployment for the Marine Corps. If all else fails, he'll get me a ride Monday with a company of Marines who'll be stopping off in Atlanta on their way home. From there I'll have no problem snagging a plane ride to Texas.
Next time y'all hear from me I will be sitting in my own house, with a real bed, a toilet that flushes, and all the cold beer I can stuff in the refrigerator.
I want to sincerely thank you all for your prayers, for your support, and for your friendship. It's all made an unpleasant task in a faraway place that much more bearable. Thanks.
