Back to Iraq...

Just found out today that one of our veterinarians is going back. He's Navy, Special Forces helicopter pilot, 17 years in the reserves. He's been there 3 times already. Last time he volunteered to go 6 months spanning Christmas so others in his unit could come home for the holidays. He chose to go again now for a year because the powers that be said he'd probably get called up again anyway, and they can do that with only 72 hours notice. Apparently the Navy has been accused of not doing much to help and so are now going to step up (his words not mine). He figured the 72 hours notice thing might screw up the clinic's schedule. Besides, his 20 years are closin' in.

He's incredibly funny, and incredibly brave, or has a serious death wish...

He said he hopes we'll take him back when he comes home...I just hope he comes home.

(BTW, the boss said no problem.)
