So here at the CSH we have all sorts of things going on. We now not only do surgery on Dogs, but we care for wayward falcons as well...its our little nod to the Air Force, I suppose. Anyway this little guy was found on the flight line out side our facility and brought in during a big dust storm. The Vet felt that based on his good health (after the work up) and docile nature, he was probably someones pet...like a real live falconer. Who knew. Anyway we let him go so he could fly home....wherever that was. But for a little while, we had the Air Force mascot here in the Army's CSH. HOOAH! In other news, I have determined that everyone who goes through the CRC (CONUS replacement center) has their appendix moved to the retrocecal position and then promptly gets appendicitis upon arrival to theater. I have not had one antececal appendix since I've been here. But all in all, things are going very well. It is getting hot as expected, 100's all week, but thats nothing new coming from El Paso. In fact it really does feel like El Paso whether here. I am missing home now, as one could imagine, more than ever. As individuals start to trickle out, those of us left long for home, like camel for water. But the good thing is that we now can allow ourselves to start planning the things we will do once we get home. On this Memorial day weekend, I praise God for the rich time of personal professional and spiritual growth he has let me experience here in the desert. I can't wait to see everyone at home real soon. Love, Eric

We can't wait to see you either. It was great talking with you the other day!!! Total fun surprise!!!
ReplyDeleteI read your words and I long for home even though I'm sitting here at my computer enjoying it all. Thank you for opening my eyes to the "safe pasture" (Ps. 37:3) God has given to all of us. I love you Eric and can't wait to see you.
