There was some confusion, even up to the last minute, whether Elie would be able to come home last night (he did), or today. There was also some confusion about whether or not he would have to go back next week for a few days (he won’t). Other soldiers will go in. Elie has served 29 days this year already in the Reserves this year. 29 days – nearly a month of his life.
And so others who put in less time will take over the task of preparing the equipment. Preparing for what? “Next time,” Elie answered.
Next time…
