FOB Smart at 1700 - Wednesday
Another day, albeit one that felt a little long from wake to now, has nearly finished. We moved materials around on the FOB today to accommodate new upgrades throughout. Tomorrow we have more of the same and missions beyond. I feel good when I am tired from a day's work. It helps to feel the accomplishments all the more.
I briefly spoke with Kaesen this morning, although he seemed a little preoccupied. His mother had company over, so he was a little rushed. When my son and I speak, even if it only for just a few seconds, it means the world to me. Every day, as I have been mentioning, he asks or I offer the day countdown until we see each other again. Today is now Day 58 to my next R&R, although it is really 57.31 - who's counting anyway, besides Kaesen and me? For those interested, I have 200.30 days until I return to the States, barring a previously-decide, although now up-in-the-air commitment to extend for another year.
We have advance team members here in our province who will become our next team leadership. They have an opportunity to review our processes, observe our projects and daily grind, and see where they can improve upon the already obvious successes and shortcomings. Again, I am amazed with the continuous caliber of cadre rotating in and out of this FOB and PRT.
143, Kaesen.
Good night and good day.
