Adam is frustrated. Deployment is getting old. Boredom persists when there are no missions. Questionable decisions by superiors are annoying. He is, in one word, tired.
But it is almost over. The "sure-ish" date for flying out is April 12. They are supposed to fly directly from Iraq to Fort Lewis, Wash. Adam said they will be "prisoners" at Fort Lewis, and he is aggravated by that because apparently regular Army people will not be treated that way.
I fear for his mind. He is agitated. He is frustrated. He appears disenchanted. I don't want him to resent something he loves.
He will be gone a good chunk of the summer, squeezing in classes before the fiscal year ends. I am somewhat disappointed but at the same time glad that he will be furthering his career. In a way, it's good that he's doing this right after deployment because I'm already used to him being gone. We will have time, because he doesn't plan to go back to work until June.
Today is the last day to send anything. I plan to send one more letter, then wait for him to come home.

You could probably send letters hun, just no boxes. It is true, this is not how active duty works. For them first in, is first out. Also they would allow contact as soon as they are back. Heck most of the time we were there as the birds landed with signs etc. With the military one thing I have learned is unless you have a legal order in your hand, do not count on anything.
I think many of the guys are feeling frustrated and that those who said do not worry, we have your backs, well they feel let down that no one had their or their families back during this deployment. But, that is politics not much we can do except vote differently next time.
Michael also has a bunch of class's to attend this summer. I know that when he first gets home there will be a time of adjustment for us both. Him getting back into being a full time husband/lover, and a full time daddy, me allowing him to take over parts of our household again. Kind of a passing of the torch. I have gotten used to being the one in charge and doing what I want , when I want, how I want LOL.. now it will be back to tag team players.
If I can help you in anyway please call. Even if it is nothing more than me listening to your rant or vent about how the moon was only half full last night. I will not mind.
What type of class does he need to take? And why does he need to take them? I thought he was done with school.
They're for the Guard, so he gets promoted faster. They're more training courses than actual classes, I guess.
As for mailing stuff, I'm not gonna risk it because apparently everything has been really backed up. Like I just got his V-Day card during the weekend.
