/">Illyria is back active. 
I am back. It feels good to be back on here. I was gone for a few months because the money was just way to tight at work. Now I am ready to begin a new era in my life.
I am going into business for myself. I am getting a franchise and I will be working for me, not anyone else. I am done making other people rich.

Yesterday was my son's first birthday. So we took him to Hooters, it is like a giant smorgasboard for him and he loved every minute of it.
What a Friday, spent the night doing laundry. I lead such an exciting life, but it makes the wife happy that she doesn't have to do the laundry.
My new son is only about 4 months old and is already 27" and weighs over 20 lbs. The kid is a bruiser.
Well Jan 11, 2012 my son was born by C-section and 1020 am and at a weight of 9 lbs 2 oz. He was a big one.
I am so proud and happy and he looks just like me.

We finally made it home. We arrived in LAX at 1110 Tuesday night. It was a long hard road but it is over and I am on leave unitl February. It will be nice to get some relaxing time in.
Well we got out of Atlanta but now we are stuck in Ft Lewis. This is what happens when civilians run things for the Army. If the Demob was Army run, it would be at least a 6 day per week operation and it would be 0800 to 1600, not civilians, Monday thru Friday 0800 to 1530, no weekends or holidays. So now we are stuck here all weekend with nothing to do. And if we don't get out by Tuesday we will probably be here until next Tuesday because of Thanksgiving.
He Army, don't let the civilians run you and don't let them run your Soldiers. It is time the Army took back control of its workforce. Enough with the GS employees, they need to be Army employees answerable to the Army and the Soldiers, they need to have Soldiers as their bosses.

I am stateside. I am stuck in Atlanta right now but will be at Ft Lewis tomorrow and begin the Demob process to get back to my home in CA and back to my family.
Baby, Monday I sign over all my equipment to someone else and then we book flights home. We will be home for Thanksgiving and I will be on leave until after Xmass and New Years. I can't wait to have some time off.
Thank God that this tour is over, I know we volunteered to stay longer but I am glad it is over.
