I saw my brother over the weekend.
He quit his job in Meridian, Mississippi to take another job.
He’s got a couple weeks in between jobs and came out to Arizona to see our parents and move out all his belongings.
Why is he moving all his belongings to AZ? To a storage unit?
Because his new job is overseas.
Kevin’s new job is with a small company that holds government contracts.
My little brother is now a government contractor.
For the war in Afghanistan.
Of all things.
Mid-July he goes to Baltimore to train for 4-6 weeks …. then after that to Afghanistan.
He’s volunteering to go over there for some obscene amount of money …
He’ll work 3 months on then get 1 month off. Then 3 months on and one month off.
And for tax reasons, he’s not planning on coming back to the states for those months off.
Instead he’ll be traveling the world.
Jerk.
A month off in Costa Rica, or Ireland or New Zealand or South Africa.
Must be nice.
And he’s planning on living this life for a couple years, and then …. ??

sounds exciting for Kevin.
Last I heard, his current thoughts are to go to college in Austin, TX… We’ll see what really happens. He’s quite the adventurer.
