Well it's final, the son in law just finished up a bunch of weeks training in the South Cali hills and is getting shipped out to Okinawa for 6 months.
Let's hope for my daughters sanity that it's to build something on the island and and not a build up for something else.
Especially with that nut case in North Korea.

These days one cannot tell. God's speed to the young man.

Sounds like a regular rotation? I did two six month tours there as combat arms (and later a full three year tour).

I really don't know patoloco. It's been almost a year since he got back from Iraq, where he as a Seabee, drove convoy duty for the Army.
I haven't spoken to him much. He has leave in a week and is going home to Va . Hopefully I'll get a little bit more out of him.
