Intro/Headed Back

Here we go again. I've started a new blog. This one should be more interesting. The intent is to, sort of, chronicle my time away from home and my random thoughts.

The thoughts right now are mixed. On one hand I'm ready to get back to work and accomplish my mission. On the other hand however, I have a great family I'm leaving behind. The past few weeks I've been home loving life, and now I'm going back to Cuba.

I had such a good time on leave. Michelle and I took Gavin to the zoo, the park, we rode the little train, he went on his first fishing trip, and so much more! I can't believe how big he's getting! Now, I get to drop all of that and go to work. For those of you who don't know, I work at the detention facility at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. There's not too much I can talk about concerning my job, but I can tell you it sucks. Long, long, long days, with little to do in our little off time. In short, it sucks. I hate leaving such a good place to go and hate life for the little bit in a bad place. Sure, it'll be over soon enough, but too many tears have been shed over this.

What am I going to do about all this? Not too much I can do. Notice I said "not too much" and not "nothing". I am going to do some things. I'm going to start busting my backside to get my degree. I'm going to make the best of the bad situation and come out strong. I'm going to come home. Plain and simple.
