Well, paperwork is done on my end; waiting for company, battalion and brigade commanders' signatures. Target date for me to leave Baghdad for Kuwait is 4 Aug. Will probably be spending a couple days in Kuwait waiting for a flight back to Europe and then the States. Will be on leave until 18 Aug. Plan on being in Norfolk for about a week, but will stay longer until the 17th if needed. Might sign in off leave early to save leave for a week or two with Michelle and the kids in Sept and a week toward Oct/Nov for traveling to job interviews in Va or Md. Don't know exactly when I'll be back to Ga. Called Mom today- got her voice mail on her cell phone. Will maybe try again tomorrow. Anyway, love you guys. Gotta' run.
Love,
Chris
