I don't think he's homesick. It's more likely that he's wishing the photog would hurry up already. Things to do, you know, and with constant interruptions.
Cool pix. I made a blanket to keep my soldier warm. It really makes a difference. Imagine working 14 hr days 7 days a week and freezing while trying to sleep. Bless everyone who makes and sends comfort from home.
A great blanket for those without artificial heat is actually an afghan with a flannel backing. It molds to the body and works well in conjunction with whatever they're already using.
I'm sure you got permission to post the pix. Just an FYI for others, always get permission. I can't even post my soldier with a visible name tape and yet I see OPSEC/PERSEC violating pix all over the net.
Thanks for sharing.
