I leave today.
Well I leave today, around 2200 (10:00 PM). Me and my wife spending our last day together at least until r&r 8 months from now will probably be the most depressing part of my deployment. I have some last minute packing to do, as if my bags don't have a combined weight of 131lbs already...other than that it's just sit and wait for the time to go by.
Yesterday I saw a video on youtube of a Soldier seeing his dog after coming back from Afghanistan. It made me realize how much I'm going to miss my German Shepherd, and even my cat (the little bastard that he is).
Good luck and God bless. Troutbirder and my GSD Baron
