Well I am heading home from my deployment. I will have 'barely' met my financial goals I set while deployed but considering everything I am not at all disappointed.
I will have set aside enough $$ to pay off my Car Loan.
I continued to max out my IRAs for the year as well as put an additional 5K in my brokerage (before the recent drops but oh well).
I guess most of all I am happy and a bit anxious to be heading back to the 'real world'.
I made a bunch of good friends out there and will definitely miss the mission and the impacts we had on the strengthening of the Iraqi Security Forces.
Most of all I will be glad to reunite with my wife and son. It has been 7 mos since I last saw them and he went from being 5 mos to 12 mos old.
Wish me luck!
