Freedom stache! woops my spelling error!
It's a mustache that they grow during deployment that looks and sounds ridiculous.
I love this, even though we haven't gone through a deployment yet I can still relate to these. By the way, I am a new follower. Feel free to check out my blog at jleigh2011.blogspot.com
Consider me your newest follower! Thank you for the list and making me realize that I am acting 'normal' with this first deployment!
