@seeairuhm Best part about being in Europe!

[Patrick A. Horsman @Horsmanicus]

@seeairuhm Nice trip down the gaming rainbow road. Crash Bandicoot. Medievil. Donkey Kong Country. Super Meat Boy. (Lol). Sly Cooper....

@emmy_does_it Was just in this exact spot two weeks ago!

My version of hell is 5 hours in an airport. Where I am presently.

[Patrick A. Horsman @Horsmanicus]

Work phone has been turned in, outlook and DWAN have been D dashed, now all that's left is packing and waiting.

Looking forward to some family and friends time over the next week as a send off. 12 days out.

@CanuckMedic What a fantastic suggestion! Thank you.

[Patrick A. Horsman @Horsmanicus]

Hey #CanMilTwitter - what am I forgetting to pack? What's one thing you wish you had brought with you on deployment?

[Patrick A. Horsman @Horsmanicus]

@MidOfficer @TrevorJain Issued from supply, no more than 2 at a time 😂

Third vote for maple syrup though.

[Patrick A. Horsman @Horsmanicus]

@jenifferault I suppose I also have to go European plug adapter shopping.

[Patrick A. Horsman @Horsmanicus]

@TrevorJain Interesting. Syrup for trade?

[Patrick A. Horsman @Horsmanicus]

@TrevorJain Thank you Trevor. You are always too kind. I'll tell you all about it when I get back.

[Patrick A. Horsman @Horsmanicus]

26 days from now I'll be sitting in an airport awaiting a flight to Germany with 7 months worth of gear packed in 4 bags. Really starting to feel that odd mix of excitement and anxiety as it fast approaches. So many things to try and finish before I go.

[Patrick A. Horsman @Horsmanicus]

@cdnnavylady @RCRBuck @MidOfficer Many of the topics we want to discuss are truly contentious. It's difficult to find the balance between engaging with meaningful discussion vs. holding back for fear of getting into some kind of viral social media debate.

[Patrick A. Horsman @Horsmanicus]

@jenifferault Yeah you did! Congratulations again Jen. Always here for whatever support I can provide (until I leave 😂)

[Patrick A. Horsman @Horsmanicus]

@seeairuhm What's the gym situation at the Kaserne? Functional fitness/CrossFit type space? Food situation on base for lunch? If you don't mind a DM shoot me a follow and I'll take my random fitness and lifestyle questions there.

[Patrick A. Horsman @Horsmanicus]

@seeairuhm 6 AM? Great. Hiking? Sign me up. 7 excursions planned in 3 days? Nah dude 😂 I draw the line at being scheduled so tight that there is no room to seize cool opportunities.

[Patrick A. Horsman @Horsmanicus]

@jenifferault Congratulations my friend!

[Patrick A. Horsman @Horsmanicus]

@LT__Media @SportsCenter Game really mattered. If they list they would have been in the play-in rather than 6 seed. Lakers had the tiebreak between them.

[Patrick A. Horsman @Horsmanicus]

@jsmacd Which is a small win - but even if they work 40 years they will be stuck at (in one case) a 38% pension. All that to say, I think your idea of being able to drop your worst years from the buyback and you earn better ones has merit and would absolutely help with retention
