I was up b efore 7 this morning to finish copying files and putting together the last Task Froce Diablo Newsletter. I finished it at 9 tonight and got it approved by the commander and PAO and proofed by the commander's assistant. It was like being in Iraq again. Especially the length of the day. I got most of the photos copied. That's what I will be doing tomorrow, in addition to packing and cleaning my room.
It's getting very close to civilian life now. Att 11 am tomorrow my friend Meredith Gould will pick me up and take me to the Trenton train station. She will be keeping my New Jersey bike for me also. Amtrak doesn't want bikes on the train.
More tomorrow.

Might be a little late because I feel the sudden need to to go Cafe Press and get a t-shirt that says: "My friend went to Irag and I got a bike!"
ReplyDeleteWhy do you have to ride a train by yourself when part of the 2-104 arrived on buses at the Gap yesterday and the TV crews were there to record it? Life isn't fair! But I'm sure you'll be glad to be home even if you have to ride a bike to get there. Have a great homecoming!

Why don't they let bikes on trains? That is just idiotic.
