Seven Day's and a Wake Up
You'l, it's nice to be missed. I appreciate you'l.
This time next week, I'll be either home or getting close to home. I do look forward to seeing the Mountians again. I know the nights are cooling off and I miss that. Of course they are cooling off here, but, not nearly as much as home. Enough of that.
The drive down here was an adventure. I drove down through Clayton Ga in Rabun County and encountered a feirce rain where William Bartram did so many years ago. People were pulling over and the water on the road pulled at my tires. Again at Gainsville Ga I ran into a storm that slowed everone down. On I-20 along Tallapoosa Ga was another gully washer. Everyone was driving with their flashers on and I found my self shifting down to third gear. Once I was in Shelby County Alabama, where I have family, there were more of the storms. Driving into the South end of Birmingham was an almost repeat of Tallapoosa.
I told myself that if the drive down here was any indication of how the mission would go it would be something(as in and adventure). It has been. there have been hurdles, but, we've come through. There is still Seven Day's and a Wake Up to go. More long day's on the range to come.
At the request of a Public Affairs Officer from CENTCOM I'm posting this link. CHeck it out, find out stuff that your Armed Forces are ding that doesn't make the news. I'll put it on my links list, sir.
I'll type more later when I get home.

Good to hear you're OK. Wish you were here to post more, but I guess you got more important stuff going on right now than entertaining me.
I got me a blue ID card last week. You know what that mean and you know it makes me happy. Yep, all of the TRICARE and none of the mid-watches.
By the way, I hit that same rain storm coming out of West Memphis, Arkansas. Only time in my memory that I actually had to sto and sit out a rain squall. Usually I keep moving, even if only 20MPH. But in this case I couldn't even see the hood, so I didn't have a choice. I wasn't scared, but sure was impressed. That mother nature, she's a real character sometimes.
Be good.
Dittoes there, AI. Take care of yourself and we'll "see ya'" when you get back home.
Stay safe and watch your six!
