RE: I'm Back
Glad you're back safe, man. Head to a beach or something. Nice change of scenery.
I wanted to add that I don't see how you guys can do it. If I were over there, got a little R&R and was able to come back home for a bit, I don't know if I could/would show up when it was time to go back. Of course, the military isn't my job/calling so I guess there's reasons why I feel that way. But, I admire you're/you guys' ability to be placed in life/death situations like that and stick it out. Must be one helluva experience.

RE: I'm Back
Welcome back brotha... and as you get used to riding at home, keep these things in mind:
1. Unlike the MSRs in the box, in the states the center divide is your friend! There are no IEDs in it, and it keeps you safe on one side from your biggest stateside enemy: cagers!
2. Dead dogs on the roadside will not blow up when you pass them. At worst, they'll smell a little bit.
3. You have no gunner in the turret any more, so drive defensively, not offensively!
4. When you hear a backfire, it's okay to keep riding. No need to find cover and concealment.
5. (and this is most important): Alcohol is legal here! So enjoy a few cold ones but for God's sake don't drink and ride. You survived the box: don't screw it up now.
