Default Coming back to the States from Iraq

18 days and counting till I come back to the states for some R&R. I can't wait to drive my car again. Don't get me wrong driving on the highway in a 23 ton Bradley is fun and all but I'll pick my car between the two anyday.

You guys have anything going on in the area the last two weeks of Sept? I'll be back for those two weeks till I have to come back to this hell hole. I'd be great to hang out with some f-body guys again. I'll be staying at my folks house in Saratoga Springs, NY.

My friend is going to go back for a 3rd tour of Iraq. If you run into an army guy named Elias Medina at the airport, say hello for me.
