Not home for T-Day?

[TheBubba]

No Kool-Aid - it's the truth.

I left the town in which I grew up with no intent of ever returning (save a periodic visit with my folks). One of the reasons I joined the Corps was to get out and see this "world" everyone talks about. Since the day (no, the early, early morning ) I stepped onto the yellow footprints on the Island, I have called many places "home." (Like Carlin once remarked, home is an abstract idea - it is a state of mind.)

Ha. I can second that. I have no intentions of going back to NJ save to visit friends & family. I grew up travelling on the Navy's dollar, and I'm at it again.

Happy Turkey Day bro.

I'm in Bahrain for the second Thanksgiving in a row, but thanks to Ric's Kountry Kitchen, I'm stuffed.

even though I'm deployed, I am still Thankful for the service of those around me. When I was on the ship today I was able to grab 2 plates of turkey & fixin's from the dirty shirt for my Aircrew. They are some hard workin' sumbitches!

Had a few or more drinks there, too. I always thought it was a bit over priced.

Did they have the two filipino guys on guitar?

I'm spending a rare Thanksgiving with my family today. Seeing as how they were nice enough to drive 10 hours to come see me AND bring a 22lb free range turkey, I figured it would the least I could do is cook said bird and provide the booze. We're already down a bottle of Jameson's, four bottles of 2007 Beaujoulais Nouveaux, a 12 pack of Miller Lite, and Little Brother just walked in with what looks like bourbon. Nice.

Damn. I only get sweet potatos with my family.

I am home alone here in Corpus Eating Whataburger for Thanksgiving, but it's still a lot better than my brethren out on the boat or abroad. Thanks guys....

Bozeman Montana for me this year. 7 degrees outside right now. Crystal clear and no wind. Mountains are beautiful.

Thanks to everyone deployed and everyone not deployed who could be.

Absolutely overpriced - but we had a great turkey dinner as a group. Only place in town to get that I think. We were seated upstairs this time so no guitar players, But I know the duo you mean.

Just got back from Baghdad just in time for Turkey Day. It's nice not being in a combat zone for the holidays. I keep all my forward deployed brothers and sisters in my thoughts and prayers.

To everyone 'out there', home and abroad - stay safe.
