I started in Sep 08, had an R&R for two weeks in March, my counter below my name is till my next R&R (July 2-16), the next R&R counter will start after I get back and I should be home for Christmas. I'll probably have one more R&R after that as I am looking at finally ending this for good somewhere between June and November 2010 or till my wife hauls me home. She says take the time that I need to get everything done but when I come back at the end of this she's not letting me go back...so I gotta do what I gotta do (in light of the economy back home, I'm doing pretty well over here).
I'm also trying to get set up that if she ever has a relapse of her cancer (she is on her last treatment Friday this coming week...last day of school as well, out of 52 weekly treatments of Hersceptin at about $1,700 a treatment...luckily she has relatively good insurance or I'd be over here a lot longer) that we can survive on my retirement check and whatever minimum wage job I may be able to get.
