Wake up in the middle of night and I think about the next days work I need to do and that is no more.  Like when I was in SE Asia on a hill top and was already out of the service.  Not until we got hit with a couple of guys medivac out that I decided to go home.  Something isn't right or may be I just need to count the blessing and create some new memories this afternoon.So what advice do some of old farts or young have for me?  db-2</blockquote>
