Second on the cheers for happy. As for the scheming, I think the effort to get us back to the east coast if well beyond individual scheming and it's well on it's way to being a full blown conspiracy ;P
Sorry I missed the the lovely weekend love :(
Random note, there's talk that a "mall" might open at Al Asad with a couple stores. One of the stores that was supposedly in the running was Hot Topic. The female Marine that had been out there and was realying the news had to explain to half the SNCOs and officers in the room what kind of store it was... I'm not sure I believe that it's on a list of possible stores, but what I can't even understand is why it would even occur to anyone to put in on a list in the firstplace. Unless the list consisted of possiblities solicited from the service members stationed there. In which I guess I could see how it got considered, but it would still be ridiculous. A store that you can't wear 50% of what it sells on base in the US much less out here. I mean there is no time you're ever in civvies except for PT... I just don't get why anyone would think that store out here is a good idea. Not that I don't like some of what they sell, at least on you, ::grin:: but it's not exactly professional attire, nor is there any purpose to selling or buying it over here. ::boogle::
Hmm... didn't mean to go off on a tangent in your post, sorry. ::looks suitably chagrined::
