Man...

... I would love to get down there. Gotta think on it, socialize the idea with the wife, and go from there.

It's over 1,200 miles each way. I don't own a trailer or a truck that will pull one with a car on it. Not that I'd want to anyhow – my car was built to drive.

I'm one of those Soldiers stationed at Mabry. If the bird fly's fast enough from Afghanistan i'l make it in time. Oh and if you see anybody with a maroon beret (paratrooper) welcome them home. These boys (and girls) have had a long, tough year here.
