Re-enlistment, quarters, and leave

Well, it looks like I will be retiring from the military now.  I’ve just recently re-enlisted for 6 years (I’m getting a nice chunk of change out of it), which will put me at over 13 years time-in-service at the end of this new enlistment.  After that, it’s just a short hop and a skip away from retiring at 20 years.  Needless to say, my parents were quite pleased with my decision.

This week is going to be a short work week for me because I’m currently on quarters for 48 hours due to having oral surgery yesterday.  I don’t go back to work until Thursday.  And I go on leave on Saturday for two weeks.  Man, I’m getting a lot of time off! :)

I’ll need it though, because it won’t be long until I deploy for 15 months to Iraq.  I still haven’t figured out how (or if) I’m going to post to A1in10 while I’m downrange.  I’m sure that I’ll figure something out  which won’t compromise my identity.
