Before Ryan came to Utah, he was already contacting people to ask if he could deploy as soon as possible. After his arrival, he was told that he wouldn't be going on this rotation, so he decided to take some leave. He drove separately to Vegas last weekend, and while Caleb and I came back to Utah, Ryan headed east. His intention was to drive from Arizona to Texas to Colorado to visit various friends and family. Well, no such luck. One of the guys scheduled to deploy was injured, so they called Ryan back off leave. He got back Sunday night, and he leaves tomorrow to spend four months in our old stomping grounds of Al Udeid Air Base, Qatar. If you have to go to the desert, then Qatar is the place to go. It's really been built up since we were there over two years ago. It's practically a resort (dorms, Olympic size swimming pool, stadium seating movie theatre, Subway, Dairy Queen, Pizza Hut, etc.). Plus, it's about the safest place to be over there. Regardless, please keep him in your prayers.
As for me, I guess it's back to riding to work by myself and walking around the place naked.
