Title: Last day!
Post by: seminolewind on April 15, 2014, 05:18:10 am
Hey y'all I'm writing this from the little air terminal in Kandahar Air Field Afghanistan. In about 30 mins ill be boarding my plane outa here ! It's been almost 8 months, not as physically taxing as last year but still a productive rotation none the less. I got to do things this time that will never be equaled in stateside livin some of the coolest most exciting experiences of my life took place over here. This makes a total of 4 yrs I have spent in this country and I know I won't be coming back. This drawdown is full on. Every day sites close and buildings are bull dozed as we pull out. Kinda makes me a little nostalgic but happy I was able to be a part of the effort but there is always other theaters and new chapters to open !

Hey I also wanna thank all you guys for the support too ! Ill tell you what there had been many boxes of stone sent over here for me to chip on during my down time, I can't begin to tell ya what a morale booster it is to sit down under a tree in the evenings and chip out a point. All in all I made almost 200! Damn! Y'all know who you are and thanks again for that !

Ain't gonna be able to make the classic but it's probably for the better y'all don't need me drinking all your beer and breakin all that Kentucky blue !

Be easy guys !

By the time you read this it will be, "welcome home" and thank you for your service.

Did you ever run into any archery ranges on military bases while over there?

     Have a very safe trip home, and thank you for your service and all the sacrifices you had to make.  Would love to meet you at Eddies, some time, heck I will even show you where Eddie keeps the beer. ;)  Be neat to watch you and Roger knock out some of those amazing points.  Heck would even be neat just to watch Eddie, knock em out, as I drink his beer, and eat his food. ;) ;D ;D ::)
