I finished all my pre-deployment stuff today, so I should get some free time for my last week in Washington. All I'm waiting on is my OER (Officer Evaluation Report), but I can't do much about that except wait until its completed.
My smallpox vaccine is a nightmare. My skin has been so sensitive to the adhesive of the bandaids that I have a red rash a 6 inch diameter around the blister... and it hurts like hell. I feel like i have grapes in my armpit because my lymph nodes are swollen. I'm ready to be done with this yuckyness.
What I know about my schedule is that I'll be at Fort Benning Georgia 16Sept- 3Oct, England 3Oct- 11Oct, and to Afghanistan 11Oct. Apparently, the hospital I'll be working at is a pretty busy one- both hard to hear and exciting at the same time. It will be a good experience.
Have fun this week. We're really sad we won't be able to see you before you go.
ReplyDeleteExciting that you get a week off! It still hasn't really sunk in that you're going away for real. I hope you're still looking forward to it!
ReplyDeleteI can't believe time is flying by so fast and that you are really going to Afghanistan. :( I hope it is a great experience, though! BTW, what does "110ct" mean?
ReplyDeleteIt's starting to sink it. 6 months is such a long time. Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years, Valentines, and my Birthday. I have to look at it less as a "trip" and more of a temporary shift in my life.
ReplyDelete11 October. We commented at just about the same time!

^---- Freaky!
Ha Ha! I was reading it "110 ct", like one-hundred-ten-count or something. Now that I read "October", I feel stupid!
