so our replacements have arrived... but while that represents good times and the transition from sandy-angry iraq to green-awesome oregon, it's also a time of awkwardness. i know i am normally the king of awkwardness, but in this case i'm super stir-crazy. during my "sabbatical" in iraq, i've developed somewhat of a routine. now that routine is changing, and while taking it easy before heading home may be good for me, it doesn't make slowing down easy. i've grown accustomed to working 12+ hours a day / 6 1/2 days a week. i look forward in many ways to working a 40 hour week and having real weekends. i've also gotten used to working out fairly regularly (i'm pretty much swoll) and having a pretty active lifestyle. i hope i can keep it up when i get home.
the new people are a hodge podge group of soldiers. i'm sure our predecessors thought the same of us though. two of the new videographers seem very interested in learning and i'm sure they'll do great.
regardless, i look forward to heading home and seeing everyone in a more relaxed environment than a two week r&r leave allows.
sidenote:
the latest rambo movie is surprisingly not worth watching. it's about 75 minutes of action-packed non-plot chaos with some kind of moral (like killing thousands of people with a 50 caliber machine gun is okay). basically it's half the length of most action movies but twice the carnage.

Glad to hear you are almost ready to head home!!!
I can't wait to see buff Kevin (preferably not in the buff). But I'll take you any way I can get ya. See you soon.
Yeah, when you get home it's usually OPERATION: GET FAT. Maybe your wife can score you a discount at the gym? Glad you're almost home!
I know you want to run the Portland Marathon. I'll try to peer pressure you more in person.
