Alex's "vacation"

Alex left for an all expenses paid by the air force "vacation" so it's just me and the cats this summer. Alex has just been upgraded to AC. He is now the most experienced person on the plane and is calling the shots. This is a good time for him to go since we are leaving Okinawa by the end of the year and the extra money will help with the down payment on a house. He will be gone for a few months nothing compared to a year long deployment.
