I am glad to see that you are recovering from your funk of the past few weeks. I hope that you are able to keep your morale up. Once it starts to go, your health will follow. Then, over-there, it just goes down-hill from there.

On-point with your commentary, I sometimes stop and am amazed at the level of responsibilty and power that we have. Not in weapons systems and masses of troops, but in the lasting empact we have on the lives our Soldiers/Marines. With even the smallest approval/denial of an request can change the course of a career or the life of an entire family.

Keep your chin up you are almost at the end of your short-tour!

Keep in touch.
