Time keeps ticking...

welp, i missed a few days but time didn't stop...me and my wife went to the beach over the weekend and spent sometime on the ocean front which was great, despite the cold weather. it was good just to spend time alone. we chatted a little about the upcoming months and our plans for family and the future. our son is planning to go on a missions trip to the dominican republic this summer and with me going to a desert 'resort', we figured she and our daughters should go somewhere 'enchanting' during the summer as well. so we have been going through the paces of getting passports for everyone. we still are not sure where the 'girls' are gonna go but travel is definitely on the agenda. i have taken a temporary 'leave of absence' from my muay thai training at tiger martial arts academy as i prepare to deploy however, my son will continue his 'punishment' routine...i recently got connected with another chief who will be filling a billet like mine at JCCS-1. we should meet up in our training cycle and deploy together. it would be great to train w/ someone and actually continue to work with them incountry. that is probably the biggest downside of IA tours, not being w/ the same crew through workups and deployment. but who knows maybe we will work together in country, we'll see...gotta go for now...HST medical, treat'em and street'em and BE SAFE....sandboxrich
