I can't give the date, but it's very soon. Very, very soon. :)

Thank you to everyone that supported her during her deployment. She never felt alone or forgotten and VBOT played a big part in that. :grouphug:

That reminds me, I need to get another package out to him. :yesnod:

[Barn Babe]

That's great! I thought of her often and intended to send a care package but crazyness that is my life got in the way.

You must be so excited! It'll be nice to have her home safely.

She could deploy again. With the draw down and (expected) exit from Afghanistan happening by 12/2014, I don't think she will.

Then again, most first term airman (meaning she's in her first four years of joining the USAF) don't get deployed. She's (almost) at three years and will be re-upping at the end of four. Stranger things have happened, I guess.

Weren't you just bitching about having kids?

Congrats!!

Damn ! That was quick...:hurray:
I wish that my Eryn was home....

[DJ_Critterus]

Good stuff. Seems like she just left. I keep forgetting the Air Force deployments are what we called extended TDY in the Army.

[69camfrk]

Make sure she brings you home some....errrr.....ummmmm...Aw hell, there ain't nuthin' you want from there but your daughter!!! May she have safe travels home!:seasix:

Yeah DJ, and don't forget the fact that if we don't have cable TV, you can forget about us showing up to a war. Priorities man....priorities....:D BTW, we still call them deployments, but that term usually applies to a mass group instead of some state side vacation.....uh..I mean TDY.:lol:

[Olustee bus]

Let me join the chorus and say that is wonderful.

Thanks to your daughter, you gotta be very proud.

[Molly]

So happy to hear the grrrrr-REAT news!

Glad she is making through that hell hole in one piece. Thanks for her service to this great country.:hurray::seasix::cert:

Hopefully it doesn't mean you miss another Barn Raising that you planned, though!

Great news. A co-worker's huband departs June 1st for 9 months in Afghanistan. Will keep him in my prayers, too.

[jaxgator]

A little late to the party as I usually don't post much, if at all, on the weekends.

That said, Woot! :hurray:

I'm sure momma is stoked. :seasix:

It goes by much faster than you would think.

I know you are beside yourself, Sandy. I'll see if I can find and post the newspaper article I wrote about my older brother when he was deployed for 18 months to Operation Desert Storm back in the day.:hurray:

I missed the package thing. Details?

[NEED-A-VETTE]

I missed the package thing. Details?

A few of us PM'ed Mr. Hole for his son's address and sent off some packages. I'm sure he'll get you the address, if you ask him. :cheers:
