They can't make up there minds!!
The downsizing of personnel in Afghanistan got me sent home two weeks ago. Good news right, I got a call to go back in two weeks today!! I am happy to have a job, I just wish they would make up there minds!! On the good side I spent time with the family and got to the range one day.

Had the same thing happen a few years back, peyton.
Got laid off from Camp Victory due to downsizing, got a call at home two weeks later asking if I wanted to go back at 2/3's of my former salary...
Not a chance.

Peyton, don't risk nary a hair on your head on any of those goat lovers. Your comment about "make up their mind",..... you can't and should not say it, but I will. At the top they seem a little short of anything to make up.

Management.....
Management is management, civilian or military. 
I'm getting pretty cynical nowadays and probably they called you home to show that a number or personel came home, put that in a report to show a reduction and then sent everybody back.

I got my new orders today. I fly next Wednesday and will be back before November. Thanks for all the encouragement. I have to make a side trip to Kuwait and maybe to an undisclosed location, look for me, I will be in the background, just like forest Gump! !
