Taking inventory.......

Okay - gotta keep this blog going - Mark is now working his way through all his gear and trying to make sense of what he needs and what he doesn't (except the "ukulele" -that's a definite must). At this point it sort of looks as though something threw up camoflouge all over the house -- there's gear in little piles everywhere. Chris has informed him that it will be the rainy season when he gets to the sandbox - meaning pouring rain daily and miserable mud everywhere -- gobs of fun! He's finally gotten boots which fit, he's in the middle of doing his two weeks' of Reserve time for the year (apparently deployment doesn't count), and we're trying to plan for the "best vacation ever" before he leaves for training. Well, that's what's new......
