I am kind of hopeful

Well, today I sent my commander an e-mail that I will be willing to be an alternate for a Platoon SGT that is scheduled to deploy later this year. What this means is if that Platoon SGT cannot go, I will. I have wanted to deploy again for sometime now and feel this is the best time to go again. The commander and I are also looking into if I will still have my job when I return, if i were to go. So now it is just a waiting game on if I will go or not. There may be no chance if there is nothing that will disqualify this other Soldier, but it is just in case they cannot go. But, man, I really want to go. It will help out with a lot financially as well.

The wife and kids are all doing fine. School will be out for the summer for the kids in a couple of weeks. I don't have any place or schools at this time I am aware of to attend, so I am home for awhile. Not much else to write about. I am thinking of going and seeing THOR with the stepfather in a couple of weeks. It looks awesome. I guess we'll see.
