Hey guys.
This deployment has been really great. Thank G-d, the border has been mainly quiet and I have enjoyed hanging out with the guys, reading lots of books, working out and enjoying the incredible beauty of the Golan Heights.
I won't lie, sometimes, I got army depressed as the long boring days slipped into a routine. Sometimes I felt that I have had enough and its time to get out of here; all of my friends are getting married and working and here I am stuck in a rut. But most days I am glad that I have the ability to wear my uniform with pride, doing what I know is right and what is needed.
Soon, G-d willing, I will start three months of training. Afterwards will be my last deployment. I am approaching the home stretch. The years have turned into months and I won't lie by saying that I am looking forward eagerly to civilian life.
Nate
