I am finally getting around to re-editing this story with my newly acquired skills as an editor. I still get at least one message a month about the problems with this story. For the most part, this will be an edited revision of the story, but some other faults have been found with my story regarding eating the flesh of carnivores, and some of the science as well. SO here goes Bob's Great Adventure 2.0 if you will.

I was reminded today that I kind of left this story hanging. I wanted to say that Bob & Karen are happily married and enjoying life. With 2 tours in the sand already Bob is now a Major and probably won't go back anytime soon. As for Charlie & Michelle, he is a full colonel but bucking for his star. They just might make it after all. As for Pat the sniper, he was back to Texas last fall and we went hunting for feral hogs and bagged four, one apiece for Bob, Tom, Pat, and Jim. The others of my teams either got transferred or couldn't make the trip.
I hope that answeres a few questions anyone might have had.
Thanks for reading
