Determination
From Merriam-Webster Online:
b : firm or fixed intention to achieve a desired end
But … here is the Army Version:
When a SGM is sick and tired of being snowed on, cold and in a country far away from home.
Home date has MOVED up to Friday.
Got a phone call last night and he was in Manis, Kurdistan — where he was suppose to be on the 16th, but geez, he’s early! So, if everything goes okay – yeah this is the Army – he should be in Baltimore by Thursday night, maybe even tomorrow night, and home by the weekend.
Determination now has a picture of my husband next to it in the dictionary :grin:

I’m excited for you!

Good news! On occasion the Army runs things smoothly, I myself was once stuck in Manis for several days, believe me, your Soldier is lucky to get out of there ahead of schedule.
