The majority of Crusader, the Battalion, and the Brigade signed out on Block Leave yesterday. It's a well deserved break for these soldiers that have just recently returned from Iraq. Some are going as far as East Asia, some are staying in their barracks room for the break. For those of us not signing out, we'll have day on day off, half days, and many 3 and 4 day weekends.
With an entire month off, I'm sure we will see at least a handful of soldiers running into some kind of legal problem or worse... I hope not, but... Soldier + No Responsibility = Trouble
As soon as everyone returns we will begin what will seem like non-stop training for months straight. Weapons qualifications, physical fitness, maneuvers training at all levels, and general soldier development...
The lull in tempo could not be at a better time for me. My wife and I own a house in Tennessee and our renters just moved out. We're traveling up there this weekend to in order to take the keys and hopefully get a new tenant ready to move in. Most likely it will remain empty for at least a few weeks, and with Christmas right around the corner, it's going to be tough having to get around to see family on a tight budget.
