Finally after an 8 month long deployment, 6 months of which were spent in the Persian Gulf in support of Operation Enduring Freedom/Iraqi Freedom, I return to San Diego. On fire. Although the fires were pretty much out by the time we got back.
All I can say is there's no place like home. I got the chance to go to places like Singapore and the UAE which were nice.
Counting January, I have spent 9 months of 2003 at sea. Nearly an entire year... I'm still trying to catch up on what's been happening. Little stuff mostly, like we now have colorized money and the Terminator apparently is the governer.
So anyway, that's it. Maybe now I'll post on a regular basis again.

I hope you didn't get a Blow Job while you were in Singapore.

Shoot. I was hoping for DARKSTAR. He was always good for a laugh.
However, welcome back Hobbes!

Welcome back, Hobbes! Glad you made it in one piece!
(How long's your enlistment, anyway? Didn't you say it was five years or so?)
Posted by Ritten (Member # 417) on :
Usually 4 active/4 inactive, or semi active reserve.... Specialty trades can change the ratio though....

5 years.

Hi Hobbes! I am so glad you are safe and well! Welcome back.

Thankfully you didn't have to stay IN Iraq like your unlucky comrades who are getting decimated day by day.
And of course, welcome back from me too.
