For Here or To Go?

To go, please! I am getting way too excited! I am leaving soon. I will be home in less than a month and things are coming together. We will be moving out of our CHUs in a week. We have to live in tents for a few days before leaving for Kuwait. You might remember from earlier stories that Kuwait is hell. Yes, I have to make a quick stop in hell before going back to the States. Last time we stopped in Budapest, Hungary. I had a good time for the few hours we were there. I hope we stop in Ireland this time. Ireland is another common place for military flights to stop for refueling. :)

Yay! I'm almost home!

Stop Army

For all of you who didn't notice, check out my dream blog. The link is on the right side of this page. Seriously, look!

Time to leave is getting closer and closer (yay). I have already sent my footlocker home and am getting the rest of my things together to send. May is the last full month we'll spend in country and I am very excited about that. The new doctors are here and seem tolerable. The temperatures are still hanging right around 100 degrees which is not what I expected. I really thought we'd be above that by now. I'm not complaining though.

The mood here is a mix of excitement, anxiety, and irritation. Everyone is ready to be done here and to go home. Its difficult to explain the heightened awareness that you are a rat in a cage (thanks Billy). I know I'm ready to take control of my life again. My new slogan: Stop Army.
