Leave

I'm a little late with this news, but Adam likely is getting leave in October. He doesn't know which two weeks yet. He thought he had applied for January, but apparently it was October -- I don't know how he can mix up January and October.

But because it's sooner than he thought, he likely will come home instead of go on vacation, as he might have done were his leave in January. He hasn't had time to plan for a vacation or saved up money, so coming home makes the most sense. I had told him I wouldn't be mad if he didn't come home because the Army pays for his airfare, so he should take advantage. But obviously I miss him and would like to see him, though we likely would have taken the vacation together anyway.

Hopefully we'll know sooner than later which two weeks. It is also entirely possible that he won't get leave at all because the tour is so short and there are so many lower-ranked men who have to go first.
