DH UPDATE

All I can say is Thank God for Alexander Graham Bell. Because of him, DH has been able to call me at least once a day. Definitely once every two days. I think it is being able to talk to him about the minutiae of every day life that has kept me sane. And not wholly sane, mind you. What can I say, things have been a little bit crazy up here.

He wrote to me yesterday, saying that he had made Tech, very nonchalantly, as he is wont to do. I wish he were more excited about it, but he's ready to get out. Into the civilian world, where how many stripes you wear on your arm doesn't really matter. I'm still proud of him, though. YIPPEE!

He also told me that he had received a request to do paperwork from the desert. Can you believe that? He's working his ass off over there, and someone in Japan can't be bothered to do an evaluation by his or herself, so they have to call DH all the way over there. I laughed. I think it is instances like this that make him excited to get out. I daresay that if he were still working for the people that he had been working for in Wyoming, they might be able to talk him into staying in. The hypocrisy and lack of work ethic that exists in Japan is...disturbing. If I were him, I would want to get out, too. I guess I shouldn't tell him stuff like this, let him make his own decision, but it's my life, too, damnit.

I keep trying to upload a picture of him, but MT has his/her panties in a bunch and won't let me do it. Hmmm. Maybe later on today. I think that I am back to the mower. Bumpity bump, bump, bump.

Congrats to DH on making Tech! How did he find out early? I thought they weren't releasing the results til the 28th or something!

I don't think we have much chance this year of making it, but there's always next year. Congrats to him though!

Just got caught up this am, love the pictures of him at the meals, hoping all is well with you. Riding lawn mowers rock!

Is it his EPR paperwork? Because if it is, his supervisor doesn't keep track of his bullets.

But being as he just made Tech, i'm sure he knows this, so it probably isn't his EPR if he's complaining. =D
