Ok folks, my time here is thru.

Got 16 hours left in this country.

I am excited as heck to get back to the family and the good ole United States of America.

There isnt anything finer than the motherland.

Back to the family and my pistolas in good ole Tucson Arizona.

All I got to say is Adios Korea. May I never have to return. :D

Welcome back to the land of flush toilets and pizza delivery, Lennyjoe! I know of where you speak of-did 2 tours with the 2nd Infantry division back in the 70's. Don't forget, you don't have to duck in order to walk through the doorways anymore, and your field of vision will be once more obscured by many people just as tall and taller than yourself:D Make sure to brush your teeth really good to get rid of that last little bit of Kimchi breath-oh, and by the way, there's no need to squat. America is overstocked with chairs and assorted furniture, and nobody will pay any particular mind if you don't take your shoes off at the door! And most of all, thank you for your service! Leave the soujou there-we have real alchohol here, not laced with formaldehyde!

[El Tejon]

Welcome back. May you find hot water, clean sheets, fresh razors and uninterrupted sleep when you return.

[Greg L]

Welcome back.

Thanks for helping keep an eye on things over there.

[foghornl]

Welcome back, and a very gracious "Thank You" for your service.

Followed by a big sweeping tip of the hat, and a room full of applause.

[DrPsycho]

I thought the motherland referred to England?! Maybe it's a cultural thing... Don't worry, I'll catch on to these "Americanisms" as I spend more time on THR. ;)

[AZTOY]

Lenny Joe,
Give it a week and you will miss the Kimshe and Soju.:D
Just try to stay sober on the flight home because my wife works the AMC counter at SEATAC and dosent care for trouble makers returning from overseas. BUT Customs is normally a breeze on the AMC missions.
Take care and welcome back. Did you get to see the wreckage from the F-16?
I wish I was back but I'm at a "deployed location"
Surfin the web and waiting for my ride home.

Welcome back, Lennyjoe.

Make sure to rush out and buy a gun as soon as you get home.. :D

[Feanaro]

Welcome back to civilization. ;)

[Lennyjoe]

Ok folks, Im off to the airport.

Catch ya all online when I get to the mainland.

Make sure to rush out and buy a gun as soon as you get home

Oh yea. After I take care of my duties as a returning husband I will be out shopping for a pistol for the both of us.

Kimber for me and whatever she wants for her.

Let the journeys begin.:D

See ya soon.

[jmbg29]

[Mark Tyson]

Welcome back to the "land of the big PX".

[cordex]

Welcome back.

[Lennyjoe]

Alas I am home and all is well

Long day for sure. Was up 33 hours

Got a first hand taste of the new travel security checks.

Got the full search deal when I went to get on my connecting flight out of Seattle

Shoes off, full scan of the body with the wand. Carryon bags searched. Even had the ziptie on my checked bags and a courtesy flier from the security folks telling me my checked bags were searched. Everything was back in its original place when I got them back

So now that I am rested its time to go out and get reacquainted with my pistols.

Shopping for another brother for them is next.

Its good to be back fellas.

[Dannyboy]

I know the feeling. Welcome home, buddy.

[Skunkabilly]

Welcome back and thanks for your service.

Did you ever get to sleep on a heated floor the whole time out there?

I miss Korea but wouldn't want to live there.

Did you bring my girl back for me?

[Lennyjoe]

Never slept on a heated floor but my bed that I had was like sleeping on concrete.

Sorry Skunk, couldnt find her either.

[Stevie-Ray]

Kimber for me and whatever she wants for her. Nice choice! :D

Welcome home, and thanks for watching our backs.

[Ian]

Did you bring back some Daewoo rifles?:)

[Safety First]

Welcome back..

[Skunkabilly]

Did you bring back some Daewoo rifles?

And for good measure. Two really tactical Korean dudes. Ahhh soooo!!

[MarkDido]

Hey Lennyjo...

Pick up my son on the way back! He's on the USS Cowpens homeported in Yokosuka

[OEF_VET]

Welcome home Lennyjoe. It's a great feeling, ain't it? Thanks a million.

Frank

[Lennyjoe]

Thanks all for the kind words.

It truely is great to be back to the U.S.

I have been running around like a madman getting reacquainted with American food.

Looks like the Kimber is gonna have to wait till after the roadtrip. Wife got first dibbs on the buying so we are gonna go out shopping in the morning.

Got 200 rounds each of 9MM and .40 to shoot up tomorrow. Finally get to put some rounds downrange.

Skunk says.

And for good measure. Two really tactical Korean dudes. Ahhh soooo!!

I tried to but the customs guy in Seattle put them back on the plane and sent them home.

Found them when they were doing a search of my backpack and laptop case.

I got tagged for a security search. Shoes off, body scanned with the wand, carry on bags unpacked and inspected.

Even had zipties on my zippers on my checked bags along with a nice little flier from the security folks informing me that my gear was inspected.

All of this without my concent. So much for my right to privacy.

[OEF_VET]

Lennyjoe, c'mon you haven't been gone that long. Didn't you know that we as Americans have given up all of our rights in the name of peace?

[Coffee357]

Great to have you back, and another thanks for your service!
