The funny thing about being assigned to a "non-deployable" Army unit is that, technically one is still deployable. A soldier can be re-assigned to a detachment of said unit and sent downrange anyway. James recently received word that he could be sent back to the Middle East as early as next fall. He is still on hold for the White House position (he was to report in February or March), but the person he is replacing has decided to stay on a little longer...like 18 months longer. I don't mind being here in Washington state longer than we had originally thought. There is a lot to love here: schools, medical care, housing...there's really no place I'd rather be right now. Except for maybe Washington, D.C. But I know everything happens for a reason. God is in control and it's His will we will obey. In the meantime, I'm going to pull out ol' faithful Flat Daddy. If he didn't make the last deployment more bearable, he sure did make it more amusing.

Not to be off subject here, but is the flat daddy proportionate to the RL James? And can we add a scratch-and-sniff for lonely nights??
ROTF! Flat Daddy is *pretty* close to JB's dimensions--except FD is cut off at the waist! That didn't stop me from putting a PT shirt and shorts on him, though. Scratch-n-sniff is something I am definitely going to have to look into!
FD isn't a full-length deal? That's disappointing.
God's will would be so much easier to follow if only it were the same as our will, huh!
I remember Flat Daddy! Hopefully you won't need him and James can stay around here for awhile.
