Lots of new things have been occurring that mark us getting closer to departure. We have mailed all our extra stuff back to the unit leaving only the bare(military) essentials to drag across the world with us.
Today is our last day in our cans. We move out and into the tent city Circus Circus. That's really what it's called. All the other living sites, tents or cans, are named after memorable Marine battles, locations or people...and then there is Circus Circus. 70 stinky males all shoved into 1 tent. This wouldn't be so bad but the ops crews are constantly coming and going all hours of the day and night. There has already been an Email from our CO saying he wants NO animosity between Maintenance and OPS. I guess they are trying to get a peace treaty before the war starts...which is good because OPS is Gaza and Maint. is Israel.
The New RADAR gets here soon. We don't know when but rumors says that we will tear down Roxanne and build Lazer before we leave. That's right...Lazer is coming back to visit us for a few days.
For any of you who are a tinsy bit confused Lazer was our RADAR in Denver but since she is in the best shape(and the sexiest) she is coming out to work hard. It will be an exciting 2 hard days of work. Roxanne hasn't been torn apart in nearly 2 years so she is bound to give a little fight.
We are having our last BBQ tonight se we can all watch the Eagles/ Giants game. No real word on when we will officially be back but we are in the final steps!
Last thing...please don't send anymore mail because it will just get turned around. I will let you know my new address as soon as I do!

For a minute there it sounded like you were at war...then I read about the BBQ and football and remembered what you are REALLY doing...playing hard. :)
Love you! Hope to see you soon!!
But I forgot to put our picture in your letter! I felt so silly and was going to send you another letter just to send the picture. Now I guess it will just have to wait. I'm going to post it on my blog soon though.
I'm glad you are in the final steps. It's nice to know you are coming our way soon.
I love it when there are steps to let you know your progress since you never get told anything until the day of. I'm excited for you to be home. If you need a break in warm weather you could always come visit us in Peru where you'de get a few more days of good weather. It'd be awesome.
