Back, Jack

[adudeabides]

I am back on American soil. A simple flight from Kuwait City, Kuwait to Frankfurt, Germany, to Bangkor, Maine (US) to Fort Hood, Texas to Austin -- where I am currently hiding-out in the Admiral's Club at the airport until my flight. From here I go to Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas to Wichita, Kansas, to Fort Riley, Kansas and then to my normal duty

I'm sure that'll take some adjustment (with a lot of effort)...

[adudeabides]

Thanks. :)

I know they don't understand, and I do appreciate their effort...I just feel silly being thanked for simply doing my job, y'know?

[adudeabides]

There is that to be thankful for, yes.

You're making me hungry, too. lol I'll be sure to have some for you, too...

i got home in febuary.... welcome back

[adudeabides]

Thanks.

And a belated "welcome back," to you, also. :)

Welcome home!
There will be a lot of things that you'll find "uncomfortable" or that have changed since you left. Especially at home where people have had to learn to live without your presence. Give those things time and a lot of patience. Relationships especially need to be treated as if they're brand new and you will need to re-learn who your partner is just as they will need to learn who you've come to be. Give it time and a lot of patience with yourself and others.

I know what you mean when people thank you for your service. I usually do the "you're welcome" thing to all the while reciting the St. Crispins day sililoquoy from Henry II by Shakespeare.

[adudeabides]

I'm not familiar with St. Crispin's Day. ??

Anyway, yes, many things arre uncomfortable so far. Thanks for the input.

The advice is free. I've been out to a few of these "dances". Hope your homecoming goes well and the transition is easy

welcome back. Got home in March. Those same things feel odd to me too.

[adudeabides]

Glad to hear I'm not abnormal. lol

Thanks for the welcome back. :)
