In case anyone is still interested, I am now down to 19 days left in Iraq. I'll tell you what, it is so close, but with anything that can happen it still seems so far away. Good news though, i'll be able to get some hunting in this season. Alabama closes 31 January, and i should be HOME, by the 7th. Again everyone, thanks for all that you have done for me while I've been here. And I dont remember who it was that made the lucky neclaces, but If you ever have the time, I would really like one. Thanks again everyone...my next update post will be the one that says."I"M HOME"
