My disapearing year

It's August, I am a year older, and the next couple of months are pretty much set. In a couple of weeks we begin our almost 2 1/2 month training rotation... and before we know it, we'll be in Afghanistan.

Good news? I am still an XO- and despite the amount of times I want to go ballistic on the company, I have come to enjoy the job and get much satisfaction from what I am accomplishing-I have this job on lock. My time is winding down, though... I may be switched out as soon as next month.

A quick recap since may: Pinned Captain in early June, went on leave shortly after that- good times with the family, also conquered Vegas on the Poker table, went right into platoon STX for about 2 1/2 weeks, and now we are getting ready for Graf. Oh, and my sister is engaged!, thus shifting the balance toward engaged syblings in the family, haha.

Despite everything that is set, there is one thing that isn't set... what am I going to do tonight? I will be contemplating this for the next hour...
