Welcome home, brother! Hope all is well with the family- 12mos away can mean the difference between children knowing and not knowing their dad- been there, done that, not personally, bad had a soldier who traveled that road and it's not easy. If you ever want a cold one, free of charge, let me know, I'll buy one, two, even three for ya! Yes, I did suck up to my O's too! But only the ones who earned my respect (ya know, the 2nd LT who gets his PLT killed jokes aside, some O's really do lead from the front!).
