BF...I know the feeling. I get the same way each time I have to leave TV. It's hard enough to leave for only 2-4 months...let alone 6 months as you have to do.
And now that we have made so many new friends it has become even harder.
Are you allowed to fly back for a couple of weeks in between or are you stuck for the entire 6 months?
Hey, do me a favor at Crispers tomorrow. Everyone you see again or meet new, be my proxy and tell all hello for me wav and give 'em a hug.

Wish I could be there but will be waiting for pics

(somebody better be takin' a bunch).
