I just found out today when I showed up at Lejeune that I am going to another 'hot spot' first and then on to Afghanistan. Oh what fun.

tubes and boots went in, I would've gotten more done, had it not been for the fact that I lost one of the bags with the small screws to hold the boot together and I spent almost an hour pretending to be looking for it. I'll buy them tomorrow from the local hardware store to help the local economy.
