Got a quick phone call yesterday, he had to end it abruptly so it was quick. If I understood him right, he is still at the airbase that he arrived back at and will probably stay there until coming home. This also means that there isn't much for him to do. I told him there has been a lot in the news the last couple of days and he indicated that it is "down south" so it is away from him, at least that is what I tell myself. I sleep better at night if I tell myself those things!

He doesn't have a release date yet but feel he will be stateside for his birthday, but not home. Either way it is getting close and I will take it!
