As promised during her deployment, I wanted to pass along her Christmas wishes to everyone here at S2k.....
I just wanted to pass along a Merry Christmas to everyone back home. I have heard from a few of my friends and family members that the ‘Shannon countdown’ has been in full swing. I understand that you can’t wait to see me; however, using a countdown surprisingly slows down the day. I’ll check my circle of freedom countdown wheel every so often, but I don’t make a habit of checking it (alright, alright… I have 22 days left here; 23 til I arrive back in Baltimore). Your care packages have been slowly arriving… that right there is Christmas day… opening a present you barely have a hint about (Blame the customs paperwork for that)
This deployment has been a challenge, yet a relief that it is almost over. Yes, I’ve been over here for well above 3 months already… over 6 months since I’ve been in the Fox Cities. Time has definitely flown by (no pun intended). Happy news came my way a couple of days ago. Direct orders from a Pentagon 2 star General, is that, we are to spend our 2 weeks R & R back HOME – Back home in Wisconsin at the 440th. J Not Charleston, not any other location, but Milwaukee (oops the Fox Cities). However, we are not fully aware of when our Charleston departure date is. That my friend is a mystery I cannot solve.
Have a wonderful Christmas… stay safe and warm.
Shannon J

You guys are getting lazy! Geez... this is more so a game of he said; she said. (I'm still sarcastic... they can't take that away!)
Thanks poppysky for passing that along... forget about the 'magic' J's sitting throughout the email that I passed along to Poppysky... those some how appeared... I don't have magic skills like that.
Like I said... the days and weeks have meshed together like mashed potatoes.... One day leads into another and some how we lose what day it is. Shortly, we will be starting the January of He!!... massive amount of planes arriving/departing this land of sand. Many times I am completely unaware of what day it is... that's how much things blend together around here.
Pretty soon... NO more disco belts! (we all have to wear reflective belts for our own protection from crazy drivers)
Thank you!
