The last 6 months has been a "pitchers dual" to steal a phrase from baseball. Our guys are starting to get tired. We're drained from the physical and emotional toll of the last several months. There is however, no stopping us. For if we slow down, if we take our foot off the gas then bad things will happen.
In this job complacency kills. There are no days off. The enemy doesn't take days off, so neither can we. I have to admit though, it is hard to stay focused on all the small, seemingly insignificant tasks right now. Rumors are everywhere about when we're going home...when we can get out of this hellish place.
Family and friends know exactly how we feel, because they are looking
forward to the exact same date we are...an unknown date, that cannot
come soon enough. However, we must always remember...complacency kills. As much as we look forward to seeing all of you, thoughts of that will put us at risk.
We know the end is approaching. Just yesterday we already started turning in certain equipment. However we've still got a long ways to go.
We're just rounding third, but home is an astronomical 90 feet away.
Until next time...
Chris
