I had that problem solved
After the Armee, first time, and I was flyin' jets, I'd do a 4-5 day trip about when I expected the "week" to happen...was great
Then getting back into the Iraq contractor game, well, I was always gone...again, problem solved
Then same-same for the years in the Stan
But then comes the medevac and I got reintro'd to "the week"
Worse this time
Had three girls who were of that age...
I should have gotten a combat patch with a high five device for puttin' up with all that!
