Currently going through the mandatory "7.5 day Re-integration" process. After that, 30 days vacation! Trying to play catch-up from being gone the last year. Will probably be a few more weeks before I get to "The Yards" for some "Scroung'in".
My soon-to-be Brother-in-law just got back (yesterday) from his second round in "the big sandbox". He also did a tour in Afghanistan. Glad you two made it out alright.
Tom's car is doing fine. We did find out that the gas tank had a leak in the upper half that had been "Temp repaired". We can only fill it up halfway or it leaks. We'll swap it out later when I have more time.
