Should I be worried??
We have a letter in our mailbox (not sure when between yesterday and today they snuck it in) that they are holding a special "Town Meeting" for all Fort Monmouth residents to discuss "force protection" aka base security and procedures to be followed in event of further elevated Threatcon Levels... should I be worried?? I am a little nervous about what they are gonna say.... will we be getting gas masks??? *sigh*
Class today wasn't too bad.... I really like my teacher and he DOES make class interesting.... AND we don't have class on Tues!! WOO HOOOO plus he delayed my oral report by one class! *L* Ok so it's only a day and half more time but I am a bit nervous about....
Once again like a bad train wreck (you can't stand to watch but can't manage to look away) I have the TV on and am listening to the war coverage... I soo worry and pray for my friends over there... A VERY dear friend is there - the father of 2 girls and one due the end of May... John has been there twice already - once during the last Gulf War as a Marine and last Jan in Afghanistan... in fact I found out later he was one of the chopper pilots that was engaged in gunfire when we lost a chopper after/during one of the passengers falling out.... How scarey to know he was in such immediate danger.. He's like an uncle to the boys, in fact his mom and dad are the "Golly and Poppop" you often hear me speak of...
Then there are a few fellow co-workers over there for minimum 179 day tours - one is a dear friend from my "night" job - he was the person to relieve me every morning for 8 months.... I pray for them all to remain safe and return home soon.... I know that many of my dear friends have spouses, children, relatives and friends over there and I pray for all of us!! {{HUGS}} Til next time...
