[Seabee]

The MNFW area of operation is behind me now. My responsibilities in the battle space are turned over to another crew. It is a huge weight off my shoulders for sure, but some of it remains as a part of me. This new part of me springs from the ownership of the projects, the missions, the lives of the men and women who served under me. These do not get shrugged off and handed to the next Battalion at turnover. We carry them and they are part of a bond we share with each other and with all of our brothers and sisters in arms.<br>
I am thankful to God that due to our equipment, our training, our diligence, and His hand we all made it through unharmed. I am thankful to you, the PRT'rs, whose support was a blessing more than you know.

Safe travels home.<br><br>
I still remember more than one "coming home preparation" party that I attended when I was a kid that we'd throw for my dad.<br><br>
I still remember the scent of JP and sweat mixed together that was my dad when he'd get in from the fly-in, or come off the ship. It's an oddly comforting smell.<br><br>
The best part about home comings was that Saturday pancakes would get reinstated. That was a special time that Dad had with sis and me. Mom would sleep in an we'd get to have pancakes in the shape of the letters of our names. At one point, I could eat my name in pancakes!<br><br>
Have a great homecoming!<br>
Make the special memories.......<br>
not the fancy ones.

Thank you so much for your service!<br><br>
Wishing you a safe return home and may you have some soft TP waiting for you. When my brother returned home he my dad stocked the bathroom with the softess TP he could find. My brother was ecstatic after using what he called "sand paper toilet paper"

Can you hook me up with someone at your replacement unit? My mom's list is going to shrink without your guys! <img alt="smile.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/smile.gif">
