Hey everyone!!

I have been talking to BR1 today on the phone!! He is back on American soil, is at Fort Riley KS, is with his wife and 3 babies and is extremely happy!!! He got home much earlier than expected and has already had his first steak and Rolling Rock!! Joe and Jenny and the kids are staying at a campsite not even 10 miles from post. He has to report in tonight for a couple of hours and then spend a long day tomorrow inspecting and returning his weapons and all equipment.

As of 9:00 am Monday----he is a free man!!! He is officially out of the military (only for now) and timed it so that he can go hunt buffalo......then up to the UP of MI and catch the last 3 days of muzzleloading deer season.....and will eventually swing back down through Ohio (where we are trying to set up a mini-meet) and get back home to Statesville NC.

I could hear Jenny and the kids in the background and they are all just so very happy!

As many of you know he and I have this huge OSU v. MI bet----and BR1 lost it!!! (Thank God!!!) shhhhhh Don't tell him----but I'm gonna let HIM off the hook quite a lot and ONLY make him wear all the OSU gear we collected for him at the "All Military" Event just one week ago here in Ohio!!! We WILL get a picture of that, however!!!!

He wanted to make sure I posted a message letting you all know he is back on American soil, safe and sound!!! One cool thing too----he stayed in the hangers at Pope AFB (right beside Fort Bragg) where my son jumps from! That is where we waited the last time Greg came back from Iraq so that was nice to know BR1 was there too!

He is back on American soil, is at Fort Riley KS, is with his wife and 3 babies and is extremely happy!!!

This is wonderful news.

YAAAAAAAA WHOOOOOOO!!!!!

Thank you so much for letting us know!! I can't wait to see the photos!!

Thank Heavens.
