and other things. Just a quick one from me. First off, I ask for your prayers that this leave period will be as wonderful as I know it will be. So many things can go wrong while a soldier is at home. Next, please pray for my promotion. It may take a while for my number to come up. I've done what I can, and there are other things I can and will do, but it would be nice to come back to a nice, fat promotion.
While I'm on leave I plan to focus on my family, so I won't be on much, if at all.
As for when.. well, soon, very soon.
Love you all -- CS

My leave was, as anticipated, wonderful. Two weeks of almost raw bliss. I even got to see the new Star Trek movie. Oooo pretty. Anyway, thankyou all for your prayers.
Oh, and before I forget: I finally got to see, and show off, the artwork I won off of MLP, Jeff. It's awesome! Thankyou again! Jamie pledges to get it stretched and hung before I get back.
Again, thank you all again for your prayers and: I'm back!

Still a specialist, unfortunately. The board was just the first step. Now I have to wait until some Sergeant slots open up. Well... it's more technical than that, but that is what it amounts to. I'm working to improve my odds as we speak.

Glad to see you back here, but wish you didn't have to go back there. Still praying Psalm 91 regularly for you and those you serve with.

So glad you got to see the painting you won. Way cool, huh? I don't remember whether you got the one valued at $250 or $350, but I'm thinking it's a win either way!
Jeff

Welcome back, Jeff! It looks amazing, to say the least. I was psyched when I first saw it. Oh, and while I'm here: I got promoted. Sort of!
...
Somehow, I think that last was jacked up somehow. I am now a Corporal. What does that mean? I am now a Non-Commissioned Officer (NCO), but I get the exact same pay as before. It's... nice. I get a lot more authority to make changes where necessary. The only problem is that pay thing. Aw well, I'm still working on getting my Sergeant, and I'll have it soon(I hope)
