So we are back at that point again, under 100 days. In the military this is known as being a double digit midget. After being here once before, I must say, it's not as exciting the second time. The days seem to go by fast, but they are not counting off the calender as fast as they go by. I have been extra busy lately, due to the guy I usually work with being on pass. So I am currently doing the work of 3 people. Usually it's fine, not much difference, but today just seemed to be one of those days. Everything had issues that needed to be smoothed over, along with the normal amount of work. Like I said, the days have been flying by. This would be why I haven't responded to some of your emails, which I apologize for.
I have had people wondering if I will be affected by the most recent round of extensions. I can happily answer, no... not yet anyway. (Keeping our fingers crossed.) It only applies to the active duty at this point, and it was even said that it won't affect units that have already been extended. So we should be running 'hot, straight, and normal' for our return home. None of us can wait, there is a restlessness in the air. Some are already making plans to sell off their amenities. Personally, I am waiting until the last few weeks. The last month is going to drag as it is, with having stuff to do. I would go completely insane without entertainment, not to mention living in an empty room for the last 3 months.
Well, I will leave you all with this picture. I may have sent it to some of you before, but I still find it funny for some reason.

Yeah!!! You are getting there! Probably wise to not deplete yourself of all entertainment until you are a bit closer though.
I can see how a sight like that wouldn't be the makings of a wonderful beginning to the day! That is quite humorous actually! Thanks for always sharing the funny side of life with us! I know that you still pride yourself in always being good for comic relief! (& trust me...you've always had that gift!)
Love you & miss you as always,
Kathy
Hey Chuck,
They have real plumbing here in Qatar. My pass game plan has been consistent in that I’ve been the chalk leader AND (to top it off) the TC on all of our venues so I thought you’d get a chuckle out of it. Anyway, I’ll see you when I get back.
