FOB Smart at 2200 - Wednesday
I have returned! FOB Smart welcomed me back this afternoon with open arms and it felt so very wonderful to be amongst friends and familiar faces. The journey since September 5, when I departed FOB Smart for Kandahar and beyond on my first R&R, has been long, exhausting, wonderful, miserable, and every emotion in between. I have eaten little today, as my stomach has been in knots. I look forward to getting back to work in earnest.
I spoke with my son, Kaesen, for a few brief seconds earlier. He was happy to be on the road again with his mother back to Washington. They had stayed at a hotel near Boise, Idaho, the night before and he was able to swim again - which he absolutely loves. He is a good little boy and I miss him so.
FOB Smart is a wonderful place to be right now. I met my new administrative supervisor from FOB Apache, just down the road. He is the new Project Engineer for the US Army Corps of Engineers at the Qalat Resident Office. He is an incredibly nice guy with a very unique and positive outlook. Another new friend made!
Tomorrow is another day
143, Kaesen.
Good night and good day.
