So here's what's been happening since January when I left for Afghanistan:
The deployment went well. Nothing really to report on that end, except to say my Brothers and Sisters in arms over there have it much harder (exponentially so) than I did and I think about you guys. Be safe.
I'm getting promoted. I found out in March. Which throws my retirement plans out the window, but I'll have a couple more dollars when I do retire. And I've decided to push off retirement indefinitely and actually make a valid attempt at the next, and last, stripe.
I'm off to Korea in February. I knew I had a pretty good shot at the promotion, and the plan was if I got the stripe I was gonna get the hell out of Vegas. The quickest road out goes through Korea. The up-side is that I get my choice of the assignments available once I leave Korea, and I choose Europe. I should find out soon.
Before I head to Korea, I'll be leaving here. In September. This will be the second, and last, time I've left SG. I wasn't going to renew my membership last year but I thought what the hell. This place is great to look at, but it doesn't fit the direction I want to take my life, so I'm out.
That's it for now.
edit: Why are there so many vegetarians/vegans with "black lungs" on this site???
