Meg, I must agree with you on your last point that my Padres obsession is a bit much. I think that in a strange way the Padres kept me sane, and their season mirrored my IA experience. However, I feel that my ending won't be anywhere near the disappointment suffered by the loss in Colorado. I'm going out on a high note - back to my girls in Annapolis. That will be my world series victory.
December 8, 2006 is a very important date to Colleen and me, as it is the day that I found out I had been selected for an IA. Since that date, the date that we have been looking forward to the most is today, October 9, 2007. This is the date that my IA journey starts coming to a close. From here it is a series of pit stops that ultimately involve my flight into Baltimore. Then, it will be a simple 30 min car ride to the casa. I admit that I am very excited about the whole thing.
Now is not the time for some striking thoughts or reflection. I'll save them for a future edition. For now, I conclude with the most important part of my story - a Ship Driver, attached to a Marine Infantry Battalion, in charge of an Army Spec Ops Team, living and working in the city of Fallujah, Iraq:
The End.
