My time here in Del Rio is coming to an end. It's funny how fate throws twists your way every now and again. This time around I was actually, for the first time in my career, not looking forward to leaving an assignment for the next one. Despite multiple assurances that I was in the overall plan for the base, when the time came such assurances fell through. As a result, we're moving on soon. I just don't know when.
As I am looking back on what can be described as the best and worst assignment of the last 17 years, I have been debating. What were the moments that defined this tour for me? What am I going to take with me once I depart the location that has been home to my family and I for over six years of my career? I have some time before there's a farewell party for me--we shouldn't be going until sometime is summer. So I have decided to start writing some of these down.
I've been looking for an excuse, or inspiration, to get my Odyssey going again. Hopefully this will be the catalyst.
