Bollocks.

Seemed to be an appropriate word for the title of this post.

With the emergency in Haiti, it looks like Glens tour may be extended by three months.

The rotation that was suposed to replace Glen is in Haiti, they were at “high readiness” when the earthquake struck so of course they responded immediately. If they remain in country for more than 60 days, then their rotation is canceled and the next tour begins their pre-deployment training. Looks like the next rotation and Glens will be extending their stay in the middle east. I feel bad for Glen, the temps are already approaching the 50’s during the day. Wonder what it will be like in the middle of August.

I understand completely, but I don’t have to like it.

Gonna suck that he may not be here over the summer. I was really looking forward to spending time as a family exploring the east coast with our new tent trailer (we don’t have one yet, but we’re saving!). Maybe the girls and I will have to go on a road trip of our own, explore PEI or Cape Breton. No camping though, not without the free labor.

As with all things military, we’re in a holding pattern. Just one more thing to add to the pile of stress.
