Starting to feel better...

My day of rest really paid off, and I started to feel better immediately.  The antibiotics may have contributed to it too.  Luckily by the time I woke up the next day, my "Rocky" eye was all better.  The doctor said that it was my sinuses draining into my eye.  That sounds absolutely disgusting to me.

Back at work yesterday, I had  a promotion party to plan for.  My boss the BJA (brigade judge advocate) was getting promoted to Major.  I also had to use the day to get in as many "Daves" as I could, as after his promotion, I would have to call him sir.  He decided that he wanted pizza and doughnuts for his promotion, so I had to arrange to get that.  There isn't a pizza delivery service in Afghanistan, so I had to figure out a way to get 10 very large pizzas from the boardwalk to the office.  Luckily the Chaplain offered up his services of chauffeuring me to order the pizzas and then offered his vehicle again so we could go pick them up.  After he was promoted, everyone one just kinda hung around and ate pizza and talked.  All the Soldiers from the division OSJA (Office of the Staff Judge Advocate) came to his promotion, so it was really nice to get to talk with them.  I'm hoping for another mandatory fun game night soon, as the last one with them was pretty fun.

I got a package from my Aunt Jean and Uncle Andy yesterday too.  It was perfect timing, as it included a bottle of body wash from Bath & Body works and I was just about to run out of the bottle I brought with me.  It also had some breakfast biscuits (the fancy word for cookie, not actual biscuits) that were apple cinnamon flavor that I had never heard of, but are surprisingly good.  I am definitely a fan!

In other news the case that  was set to go to trial on at the beginning of April got a Chapter 10 (discharge in lieu of Court Martial).  So, I no longer have that to worry about.  I still have a guilty plea and an Board of Inquiry to eliminate a Warrant Officer at the beginning of April, so I'm sure I will be able to stay busy.

Here are some pictures from the past week...

Package!

He is still Dave in this picture

And now, he is MAJ Amamoo or "sir"
