I'll have you know that it's a fairly common gig with people back home. Ours was a Costco sized Listerine bottle filled with tequila. Mmmmm...
Also, I came across this little tidbit today... something that I'd jotted on a forum while I was deployed. It was in a letter sent to me by a guy from another forum I participated in while I was deployed.

If you and your family must bear this burden, then we, at least must burden our minds with it everyday as well, though it is no way comparable to you and your family's burden. Anything less is moral irresponsibility on our part.
