The First Week of October. Leaving on the 25th now...

Gifts from Mr. Monsoor

"Pandora's Box," where all the care packages go "for the taking." The Double Bubble has lasted the longest..380 pieces (where 379 is not quite enough and 381 is too many)! Thank you Mr. Keohane (dad of my good friend from helo days), and thank you to all who have contributed. The Office morale has thrived because of your generosity!

The coolest its been since my arrival in June. Amazing the difference 50 degrees makes. Not "cover the rose bushes" cool, but much more pleasant. And, Its "ACU-RITE," so it must be accurate.

Office Care Package from Navy "Battle Buddy."

Pictured: LCDR Phil Simpson, LCDR Ryan Burke, Mr. Garcia, LT Chris Cannon, and LCDR "J-Fo." Package from CDR Krista Sturbois (went to flight school with her husband, and has recently gone home) consisted of "Buck-Eyes (she lives in Ohio),"  and various types of popcorn. The picture doesn't show, but everything is empty. Thank you ma'am!
