so I made it home. Left Carlsbad last Sunday and headed up to Fort Sill, Oklahoma ( west Texas is YUGE!!). Spent the week at a conference to rewrite The doctrine for my MOS. Left Friday afternoon to spend the night at my BIL house up by OKC. Peeled out Saturday morning, made it to Lebanon, Tn slept in the back seat at a Pilot, then finished it out today. Total trip was 3,307 miles. No issues. Glad to be home but not looking forward to work tomorrow!
