Leaving on a jet plane.

Well the time has come folks. I am leaving this very morning. Whew! It's been a long and laborious wait. Kristin can atest to the fact that everyone in the Battalion has been ramping up in anticipation of this moment. It's like one of those rev up toys, that you rev and rev and rev on the floor thinking one more time and you'll get a little more speed out of the thing. But no matter how many more times you rev, it just doesn't get any faster.
I can tell you all with no hesitation that we are ready for our mission and any more time sitting here in Port Hueneme will just begin to break the toy by over-revving.

So this is it for the next two weeks or so. I will be back online sometime in the middle of April. As my mother would say, "Angels around all of you.", and think you all so much for making this last week great. Especially you Kristin and Ronan. I love you both so much.

To say we are proud of you would be an understatement - - and to all you leave in the States we will be making sure that "angels are around you" the entire time you and your Battalion are on your mission. God speed!!
