Screwed on leave
I had submitted my leave dates back in July for the end of February and beginning of March. I have the same birthday as a friend I used to work with in NYC who now lives in Germany. We were going to celebrate together as we used to do. For whatever reason, some people had to change to November and although I didn't volunteer, I got picked anyway. I'm not upset or mad, but to say that I am not disappointed would be a lie.
So now I have 3 weeks to organize myself and hope that everyone I had contacted will be able to see me when Im either in Germany or France. At least I got persmission from my platoon leadership to allow my hair to grow a little longer than normal so I don't stick out too much in Europe.

Hi there! I just found your blog and it's great!
My daughter is at Ft Leonard Wood right now finishing up Basic. Your site is wonderful - I wish we had found it before she left. I'd like to link you on my blog if that's ok.
Thank you for all you are doing. Keep your helmet on and your head down.
God bless!
