Whistle while you work

Their replacements have arrived. Daniel et al have been doing "transition" work, which means they are washing walls, fixing mechanicals, laundering bedding and in general getting the place tidied up for the new guys. Daniel says they will be moving back to the FOB soon, but still do not have a departure from Iraq date. He's ready to go - the horse wants to get back to the barn, even if the barn is in Bavaria.
15 months is a long time. I'm glad for all the soldiers and families that they have changed it to no more than a year at a time.

Tick, tick, tick. Time seems to be dragging until he gets to leave.
