Hey, you've got a good start and that's what matters. And IF we're laughing, it's laughing "with you" not "at you"
Most of us have been in the same situation-some of us STILL ARE! (actually, it Never ends!!)
And yes, you have our neverending support during your deployment to Iraq. Two of my "Sons," "Al" and "Tom" and maybe even "Vance" have been cruising into Iraq now for many years on many ocassions, going back to the early 90s.
Went on a few deployments myself-ours were more like eight months, ouch,in those days-in a far different war, with NO obvious support. But I digress...Got myself a good Hi-Fi system during a few stops in Japan, had to sell it all off when we started a family-it was ready to be upgraded anyway. (reel to reel, seperate tuner and amp,speakers wider than they were tall-goregous turntable though) that kinda thing.
Anyway, you've got a good start, and lots of support, so stay the course, and best of luck!!
Rich.
