Share some pictures of your leave when you served in OIF or OEF or other combat zones (Vietnam or Korea)?
I spent 18 days traveling through Germany, Italy, and Greece! Pictures attached

I took my wife to Switzerland. Geneva, Lucerne, Interlaken, Friebourg, Neuchatel, and Bern.

I try and go visit places I deem to be pure and meaningful to me. Visiting islands, family, friends, and lost loved ones. All the pictures you see here are from Dec 2011 where I went to a funeral, to Puetro Rico and visited family in Kansas.

yes, getting back home to your real Assembly Area. I always liked the reception in Houston and I liked the good old days where they actually paid to fly you all the way home.

SMs are charged for their R&R flights now ? That sucks. Though, I'm not too surprised once I remember all the other financial decisions being made right now.

SGT (Join to see) I only had a few days to rest and see people then it was back to finding a new job. Resinged from my previous position and sold my equity in a company that I started before I deployed. It is a shame that the Service Members have to pay for their R&R now. Real shame!
