Attention all humans that may come into contact with SGT Anderson. If he randomly becomes detached, frustrated, angry, annoyed, depressed, reckless, sad, or all of the above, at any given time while around you, do not be offended, it is not your fault. Reintegrating back into society is a tough and stressful time, and emotions can swing at the drop of a word, look, or action. Do not attempt to fix it, and do not worry. He's only been home 2 weeks, so at this stage of integration it is perfectly normal, and may continue for a month or so and gradually get better.
I say again, please do not be offended or become worried. At this early stage of integration it is perfectly normal.
Out.

Finally Home
As most of you are probably well aware by now, I am finally home. It's been one week since arriving back home, and we've taken it fairly slow. We will be getting around to see family and friends in time. Right now, though, I'm in a program called CBHCO, which stands for 'Civilian Based Health Care Organization'. This program is what allowed me to come home so soon. Because of different health issues I have, I need to undergo some more treatments, but this program allowed me to get that treatment at home instead of staying down at Ft. Knox.
I went to my first doctor apointment yesterday, and that will get the ball rolling on getting the treatment I need for my issues. I've been pretty busy though because other than starting to go see doctors, I've been working full time. On this CBHCO program I am still on Active Duty Orders (same as when I was in Iraq), which means the Army wants me to pull my own weight since they are still paying me. So I've been working at my Home Unit here in Cambridge! I'm pretty blessed to be working with my home unit, because I know all the guys I'm working with. There were 5 other guys that entered the CBHCO program when I did, and only 1 other guy got to work at his home unit. The others had to work at places they've never been at and don't know anybody. So I'm very greatful for that.
Once Sarah and I get into a groove of how all of this will work, (only having one car with Sarah and I both working different hours and me having doctors apointments in Andover and Blaine) we'll start taking some of our time off to visit people. Hope to see you soon!
