AF, I've heard that month:year algorithm, too. For me that means 18 months. And I hear you, brother -- 18 months (or 15 for you) is a dayumn looooooonnnnng time. And I look at that and I think there's no way I'll make it through. And what's happening during those 18 months? She's out dating, whatever, and I'm taking care of the children.

Then I think to myself -- I deployed to Iraq for 15 months. And this is someone I've known for half of my adult life.

Okay, maybe 18 months isn't so bad.


Here is my signature stuff.
