Moving Ahead

Finally the wheels are starting to turn. Got our uniforms at least fitted today--first time I've put on BDU's (DCU's in the desert) in many years. I'm one of the only that hasn't deployed at all for any appreciable length of time so where most only get one or two things, I get the whole shootin' match.

My son started to show signs that he may not be "OK" with me going this weekend. After I returned from a 2-week TDY he sat down with me and explained how he doesn't want me to go to work anymore. I tried to explain the deployment to him but at his age I think 4 months is hard for him to grasp.
