When deployed or in BASIC or just living abroad as I am what are some of the things you miss or missed about being back in your home country?

I miss going out on a hardwood floor and doing the two-step to a Chris LeDoux song with that fiddle kicking in... cold Sam Adams and coming home at two in the morning with my other cowboy friends and getting arrested for going swimming in the neighbours pool because in our drunken state after a night of drinking, dancing and fighting it seemed like a good idea at two in the morning... then going to IHOP for coffee to sober up at four am after being bailed out by the one friend who didn't go out with us and was at home sober because they were working the next morning... god how I miss that.

walking in the northern streets of Tehran alone in warm summer nights!

Or climbing the mountains in North of Tehran every weekend!

When I was traveling, especially long customer support, just a normal life with noise of the Family in the background. Being on the road is the pits, especially when they hand you an open ended ticket.

I missed just being able to sit around and do nothing.

Going horseback riding over our land.....that and simple Saturday mornings going to town with my parents. Now that I'm home I get to enjoy them again

when your home is located 1.5 miles from this, there is a lot to miss

Portland Headlight is located below "miles" (give or take a little) on the other side of the peninsula
