Like I said I was in the "Storm", got there a little late but was there anyway. Going over there this time is nothing new to me. This time I will be much closer to the action though, for that I am thankful. I won't be in a direct combat role, more of a support role. I wasn't able to spin up for Afghanistan due to my job at the time, I want to go this time around.
I didn't live in a tent last time (Dhahran AB, before it blew), and I am sure I will be doing so this go round. I will do what I can to get by, shouldn't be too hard. The living conditions are said to be poor at best so I can imagine the sand and stuff flying around.
I am hearing we have been pushed back a few days now, so should be sometime next week. Staying home with the family until then, since I haven't had a chance to spend quality time in the last few months...been training the troops up so they could get out of here.
Thanks for all the kind words. I'm sure we will do you proud this time around.
