We know you will, of course. Moving? Bah, what's moving! It keeps the house clean and uncluttered. :D Why when I was in high school, I had to pack up all my worldly belongings every 6 months. Well, ok, I know what you mean. Roots are a nice thing to have too. I can't believe I've been in the same apartment for 4 years. I must be growing moss of something! :D Congrats, and Go for it! We know you will, of course.

But you will make it I have no dought. Also enjoy another MOVE. They are so much FUN. ALLONS CJ,

Life doesn't always go the way we planned it. CJ, there is some of this stuff, I don't worry as long as I don't understand it. The time to worry is when this nonsense starts to makes sense. I know you have had some tough times this year. But, those very same tough times brought an illusive quality to your life called, wisdom. You continue to be in my prayers, it is time to "move out".

I have been a 1SG going on 5 years and have been reluctant to even be a Sergeant Major because I like what I do as a 1SG and the ability to still influence soldiers directly. The level of respect shown to you by all soldiers will multiply ten fold. Recently while attending the Army Birthday Ball I had some 2-star General buying me drinks and refusing to let me pay for my own. When I asked him why he was doing this after like the 3rd one, he told me it was because I was the man, I was a "Top" and it was the least he could do for me knowing what I put up with. Now this is a guy that has been, could be or may one day be a Division Commander. If he ever does command a Division, I think he will have one squared away unit with that level of respect towards his NCOs. Congrats on heading back to Sweet Home Alabama.

I live in Lucedale, MS now. That is only an hour away from Mobile. Maybe we all can get together some time. My Dad and I have a pond and a bit of land that I know your daughter would love to run around in and maybe do some fishing. CJ,
