Sometimes it really sucks being in the military

As you know my brother has been in Iraq since last summer- that sucks.

He was able to get leave to come home for Christmas – good thing.

He was supposed to be home the middle of last week but there were not enough spots on the planes to bring him home – that sucks.

He could have seen his favorite team (the Dolphins) play in KC, but he was sitting in Kuwait waiting for that spot on the plane (we won’t tell him that it was 10 degrees with 20 MPH wind gusts) – that sucks.

He finally got a spot on a plane – good thing.

But the worst part of this whole thing, he has a lay-over in Ireland and he can’t go get a beer.  Now that really sucks.
