Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaannnnnnddd we're back ...

... I'm home. YAY! The last month or so was very hectic what with me being section leader and all. There was always a fire to put out, always something screwing up what should be 'the routine'. Never enough sleep.

I still managed to get the DMG (Distinguished Military Graduate) award. Which put me at the 'front of the line' for the small graduation ceremony (my parents came out to visit and pictures will be forthcoming).

I'm in a kind of daze now. I flew in Sunday night and spent Monday just vegetating (after checking in at the Reserve center in San Jose only to find the person I need to speak with is out of the office). It feels so strange not to have a fire to put out, or someone coming to me with a problem, somewhere I HAVE to be or something I HAVE to do (not to be confused with things I SHOULD be doing).

I'm at my parents place for the rest of this month, and I'll be going back to work next week or so (need to meet with the Navy Reserve folks first to figure out exactly is going on).

That's all for now. I'll probably post again about reflections on the whole experience, but that will have to wait until I can wrap my brain around them all.
