It's an end of an era. With DD 214 in hand, Alex is leaving the Marines to go home for good today. It may not officially be a military love-story, but there's love and it's a story. The Sergeant is done.

So Long, Jacksonville
So Long, Jacksonville! I flew in for the first time EXACTLY five years ago today. I'm flying in for, likely, the last time. I was not immediately smitten, but I've grown to love it.
Homecoming
Six years. Three deployments. One homecoming. A week ago, Alex came home from his last deployment.
A Fabulous Disaster
I like plans. I like plans a lot. This trip had no plans. The only plans were the plane tickets. Had there been plans, they would have been derailed by Hurricane Florence. I flew in and evacuated an hour layer. Other than a brief hiccup cured by a good cry in a moldy shower, this was an absolute blast of a disaster vacation with my best friend.
