I talked to Nate for quite a while today and he sounds much better. Things are going okay, just really busy as always. They just got a plane back so there is a bunch of maintenance to do. There is some talk about some of them going to a different base in the Helmand Province. Basically they would be going from the southeast to the southwest. It is about 30 minutes by plane from where they are now in Kandahar. He isn't sure when they will know about that move, but the other base has a higher security level, so I'm not too thrilled about that.
He is also hopeful that they will know in the next week or two when they will be coming home. It will either be around August or won't be until February of 2010. More "hurry up and wait"..which should really be the military moto in my opinion!
