Happy Thanksgiving!
A day late...:)
So, Thanksgiving on an Army base...we had turkey and such at the dining facility, our 1SG came from the other base (most of the rest of the company is at a different base) to talk to us about what's happening as far as us FINALLY getting to come home...and it can't be soon enough.
I called my sister for Thanksgiving since she and another sister and my parents were all at her house. I talked to everyone there, and then my Mom couldn't figure out how to hang up my sister's phone so she just stuck it back on the charger. I listened to them all talk for about 15 extra minutes and felt like I was really there...I actually almost broke down crying. But I managed to hold myself together until I got back to my sleeping bay, and by the time I got back I wasn't as sad anymore. I'll be home soon.
