Jacoby Update #12 - Day #8, 342 to go

June 15, 2008

These past couple of days have been all about transit, and for OPSEC (Operational Security) reasons, I can’t tell her or you where I am, where I’m going, or when I’ll get there. But as soon as I do get there, I’ll be more periodic with updates and return letters. This Army “hurry up and wait” thing has hit all time highs, and Navy mentality is to buck it a bit, but we’re not really winning. I’m now in a USO enjoying some mediocre air conditioning, but that beats the rocks I slept on last night while awaiting details. I think I want a ship. 

Please write to me about your lives. Any details, funny, sucky, boring - all of them are exciting for me to hear, so please to NOT hesitate to write to me and tell me your trip to Uncle Goober’s house for dinner as well as how amazing Prague is in June.

Thanks for keeping me in your thoughts and all the wonderful kind wishes.
