Stay safe. Especially try not to intercept any flying metal while yer there.
My son-in-law has finally transferred from the Army Reserve to the Regular Army, and he (and my daughter) are headed to Fort Bliss as his PCS station. I try not to worry about how long that will last before they get around to sending him to either Iraq or Afghanistan, but I know it's going to happen soon.
Too many of us have a personal connection to this war...
