    Saturday I Report To My Armory To Head Out

    I got the word just now. It was kind of anti climatic in a way. Just a long list of things I have to do to get ready.

    Get all my equipment ready.
    Uniforms
    Boots
    Sleeping bag
    other small stuff

    get my medical records examined AGAIN
    anthrax shot
    filling out my will
    filling out forms to keep the boss at bay while im gone


    It's all kind of surreal. There has been debate among us when and where we will go. ON Wendsday I will no longer be under supervision of the state, we will be federalized. This is no longer an abstract concept but something that will happen. I think back to all the perks that I have enjoyed by being in the guard. Little things like free license plates to big things like college money and the chance to see beautiful places like northern Italy and Germany and Portugal. Now I get to see the not so beautiful places. I guess it's the least that I owe not only to goverment, but to the guys I have known for 11 years.
    Which side are we on? We're on the side of the demons, Chief. We are evil men in the gardens of paradise, sent by the forces of death to spread devastation and destruction wherever we go. I'm surprised you didn't know that. --Saul Tigh

          Try not to get hurt, and try not to hurt anyone else.

            remember to dodge those bullets and good luck.
            is your unit part of the national guard? or what that "Guard" stands for?

                    Don't forget to write a journal. I did it when I was in Kosovo and I've had a great time reading and rereading it over the last two years. Alot of things are going to happen and you never know if you'll want to write a book in the future or maybe just let your grandkids read a first hand report of what you did.

                    Also remember to bring alot of pogey bait (only a really soldier will know what that is ), a English to Arabic (or Turkish, or Kurdish depending on where you're going) phrase book, and lastly get lots of reading material about the history of the area your going to be stationed. This stuff becomes gold once your in country.

                      In the "New Army" you're not allowed to drink while on deployment. That doesn't mean we don't do it but it does mean the officers don't see it.

                              Be careful and good luck.

                              If you pass through Europe don't wear your uniform in public.

                              And if you pass through Athens send me a PM! (there are internet caffees all over the place).

                              Be safe.
