Same thing happened to my brother last year...sucked man! He was expecting to be home on a certain date, and appx 1 month later, he finally got stateside. Hang in there bro, you'll be back soon enough...just picture yourself banging out the gears of your new Z, and spankin some a$$...you'll get there.

BTW, your courage and fortitude is greatly appreciated my brother! Thank You!
