Home…

Throughout the day I’m reminded of home, often in the most obscure ways. I think that most of the time I’ll be listening to music and I’m reminded of a memory and it takes me back! I’ve been fortunate enough to have a ton of memories and good ones at that! I’m so very thankful to have the friends and family I have. I wouldn’t be the man I am today without ya’ll! Here are some of the things that I miss most….

College football
HD TV
Good coffee
Leather chairs
Falling asleep watching golf on a Sunday
Taking a nap on the couch
Hanging out
Beer
Liquor
Loud bars
WOMEN
Sheets
Friends
Family
Choices
Getting up after 7am


I’d say overall just being able to control my environment. For instance, when I go to bed I can’t just turn off the light and go to bed, I have to do the courteous thing and wait or just try and go to sleep with the light on. I can’t control the noise or volume of noise. I have no say in the temperature. I can’t just go for a drive with my windows down, music blasting, not really knowing where I want to drive to at that moment! You now it’s things like this that really make me appreciate my freedoms and all it affords me! I know that there will be things that I have left off this list that will surprise me for a good while. I can’t wait to discover just exactly what those things will be!

For those that don’t know, I’m in Bagram again doing some training in what appears to be another role that I’ve been asked to fill here in country. I’ll be headed back to the south at some point here in the next couple of weeks, then off to Oktoberfest!

I hope that everyone is doing well and counting down those days til college football!!!
