Goodbye Home, I'll Be Back Soon

My ship was told last month that we were getting deployed earlier than planned. The reason is cause of what is happening in the Middle East. I wish we didn't have to go, but it's apart of the job title. To be far away from home for a long period of time and still keep your cool. I'm getting ready now cause soon I'll be going home on leave (family, don't tell my mom please) and then as soon as I get back to base, my ship is getting ready to pull out. Guess that's why everyone loves getting care packages, cause it shows that your family back home loves you, and you get those pictures of your family pushes you to keep going forward and keep fighting the good fight for the loved ones back home. I have all the picture of my family and friends taped to my rack so that every night after a long days work, I can look at them and know that I'm fighting for them and they care about me, and wishes for my ship, my shipmates, & I to return home safely and in one piece.
