Entry: looks like im going to the sandbox Feb 10, 2005



First off, heres a breif look into my day today, ( this is LEAD 1 to Charlie 3, deploy breach team over- roger LEAD 1, this is charlie 3 breach team dismounted, prceeding to lead vehicle over- charlie 3 LEAD 1 thats a good copy- ME- LEAD 1 LEAD 1 this is breach team! we're taking fire on our left flank, request coverfire! fire for full effect over! Roger breach team, LEAD 1 all vehicles dismount and set up perimeter and engage enemy over! ME- LEAD 1 we're taking casualties over!) doesnt that "sound like fun" pfft! whatever.
FORSCOM is planned out for a major 24 battalion shift over to iraq by the end of summer early fall.  It'd seem the entire battalion or most of our elements from our battalion will be deploying to continue our efforts in "operation iraqi freedom" Since im now a licensed humvee driver, its very possible ill be doing mostly convoy ops.  Its dangerous but thats ok.  this is the way of things and i have no regrets.

Look, its going to be hard when you go, hon. But its even harder on those left behind worrying and thinking about you. I really do hope for you safety and heck, maybe you'll get to see Demikun out there, nee? So you won't be completely alone...you've got a battle buddy over there with ya! ^^

You must do what you must do, though. This IS the way of things. But you're not gone yet, so let's enjoy it.
