Dear TStillery...My name is David and I am one of the folks here on Testmy.net Forum. I am now a retired Marine Corps Master Sergeant and did a tour in Saudi Arabia during Desert Shield and Desert Storm. My wife Karen did 30 years in the Marines and did a tour at the same time I did in Saudi Arabia. She also did three tours in Iraq. She is a tough bird. Anyway, I wanted to let you know this because we have felt the crap you are going through. Not me so much but Karen sure did. You be safe over there and come home soon to your family. We will say a prayer for your safe return. Take Care, David and Karen
P.S. The army always had better food than the Marines so I know you will be getting a good Christmas dinner. Well, unless you are wayyyyy out there in the boonies. Then again they may chopper it in to you.
