Sound familiar? I've been hoping to get deployed to Iraq. I'm not Crazy nor do I have a death wish, I just wanna go see the part of the world that has dominated the news for the last 3+ years.

I wasn't scheduled to go on the February deployment. I was told I might be able to go on the next rotation next August. But Today, our Group Comm Cheif came up to me and asked how bad I wanted to go...I said "I'd go tomorrow if you'll send me"

Well, maybe not Tomorrow, but Monday I fly out to Florida for a month of training and then two months around the middle east. That's right! I'm shipping out with a little over one day notice!

To Tunnelrat, ToneGuns and jjsvipers...My wife will ship your stuff out on the 1st. Some of you were inquiring about the large items I was planning on getting rid of. It's kinda a moot point right now, I don't have time to pack and ship them, sorry! When I get back in November, I'll IM you all and let you know what the deal with that stuff is.

Hopefully, I can log in a few times from Tampa and a few times while overseas. I had intended to get my Garage set up and continue with my "Enemy of my Enemy" dio in the next few weeks, and that's why I haven't been contributing much! I love what a lot of you have been doing with your pics and stories...keep it coming in my absence. I'll catch what I can when I can, and catch up when I get back! (I may take Snake eyes with me and do some Pics from Iraq!!)
