Line of Departure: She's so romantic, that wife of mine

She's so romantic, that wife of mine

I woke up today, day like any other except that I had a text message saying, "Happy Anniversary!" That Sarah....she really knows how to melt a guy's heart...

So, this is probably the 3rd anniversary we've spent apart. Kind of a miserable day actually -- was supposed to have hopped on a flight to get to Qatar for a 4 day pass, but apparently the plane was last night and no one mentioned the news to any of the 18 people scheduled to be on it. Welcome to the Army, please sit down and shut up.

So, we'll try again tomorrow. At least I didn't waste any time sitting in some hot passenger terminal waiting for a bird that might or might not show. Unfortunately, I figured I'd be doing a lot of waiting, so I was up late last night and didn't get a lot of sleep.

So dear, if you die, I will not flush you down the toilet. That's how much you mean to me.

Happy A

What does the title mean?

Line of departure or "LD" is a military term used to describe the physical line where an operational movement begins. LD is a critical time and place because it sets the tempo of not only one unit, but all other organizations involved in the battle. Making LD is one of the most important actions a leader can do to setting the conditions for a successful action. To me, a line of departure also has a broader meaning. It represents a point beyond which another phase or experience has begun. I like to think of life as an ongoing series of passages, and each starts with crossing a line of departure.
