Gimme your story about what happened the day/night before you got on the plane. Who'd you say goodbye to? Who did you yell at? What'd you get drunk on and almost miss the plane? What appliance did you leave on? Etc. ;D

It was definitely not awesome.
Since Awesome is on leave, he's been crashing at the parent's house, both of whom are vacationing in Aruba or someplace equally warm and expensive.
He spent most of the day on the phone with personnel back in Benning in an attempt to clear up some major leave issues (the incompetents in S-1 misfiled the paperwork, so he was temporarily listed AWOL.) This eventually required him to talk to the battalion commander on the phone (who cleared up the issue fairly quickly), but the man just would not shut up afterward as he droned on and on and on and on about what Awesome cold expect with the upcoming PCS to Fort Lewis next year, a PCS the colonel arranged after the most recent tour of duty where Awesome saved his life.
While on his way to the long-distance girlfriend's house, Awesome got stopped by a power tripping local cop who tried to ticket him for doing three miles over the speed limit. Upon arrival at her apartment, he then walked in on the girlfriend and one of her co-worker (who was, he'd been told, "just a friend") doing the horizontal rumba in the bed. Needless to say, this went over as well as a screen door on a submarine and cops (including that bastard on the power trip from earlier) were called in after this so-called friend suffered some severe contusions to the head and neck.
Spent the rest of the night in jail along with the "friend." (The cops were smart enough to put them in different cells, though.) Used his phone call to let the battalion commander back at Benning know what had happened; the colonel was obviously torn between being aghast at one of his best officers getting tossed in jail for a domestic disturbance and hysterically amused at the reasons. Come morning, both Awesome and the "friend" (who had turned out to be an okay guy even if he was a Duck) were released since no charges were filed. Unfortunately, this whole mess meant Awesome had to rush home and grab his gear ... which meant he was 20 minutes late at the airport.
And to think, Awesome had been planning on proposing to that %&*(...

It was definitely not awesome. I wonder how Sam's going to respond to the situation?

It wasn't his sister. We broke up in college when she couldn't talk me out of joining the Army...
Although it would certainly make things ... interesting if she was the girlfriend at the time...

Lindsay Burke: Customer service extraordinaire and one of the prettiest women Samuel had ever seen. Not only was she pretty and reasonably intelligent, she even talked to him from time to time! That day Sam decided to give it a shot before he left and if she said no then he would have his old buddies to distract him from the sting of rejection. But when he went up to her to ask her out, he froze and eventually just managed to say "See you later Lindsay," and walked out the door. That night around 11:30 while updating his tech blog, he got an e-mail from a work friend. "Hey thought you should know Sarah said you should ask Lindsay out. Apparently she likes smart guys and has been talking about you. Go figure. Anyway enjoy the vacation, slacker." Sam was bursting from the seams with excitement and didn't fall asleep until well after 2:00. He slept through his alarm and was late to the airport. But it didn't matter. He was ecstatic. Is this trip over yet?

didn't go out and get drunk (didn't want to risk missing the plane)...
sat at home with a case and reviewed game footage so i'd know who's butt would be doing an insane amount of laps when i got back...and whe'd get to take it easy...
got about halfway thru the case and decided to call it a night...
