Flying Into Indy
Posted 4/1/2010 12:21:00 PM
I'm at the ever-lovely Fort McCoy, Wisconsin right now going through
what every reservist and guardsperson knows as the 'demobilization
process': 5 days of waiting in endless lines, filling out the same
paperwork over and over, getting seen by doctors, getting checked for
tuberculosis, cleaning and turning in equipment (literally scrubbing
everything you took to Iraq down with soap and water so that someone
else can use it) and generally getting shuffled around so that you can
go home; you also get the side benefit of getting forced to get over
your extreme jet lag in Uncle Sam's timely fashion. I'll be flying
into Indianapolis International Airport sometime this Saturday; the Army
hasn't bought my ticket yet so I don't know exactly when or even which
airline, but rest assured that when I do get that info I will pass it
along. I'm looking forward to seeing you once I ...

Home Soon.

It's true. My tour in Iraq is coming to an end. We're not done yet but we are nearing the end. We'll leave Iraq on an undisclosed date, fly to a couple of undisclosed locations and end up where we started - Fort McCoy, Wisconsin. Though the dates are fuzzy due to OPSEC (OPerational SECurity), I should fly into Indianapolis Int'l Airport sometime on or around Easter Sunday. In the meantime I'm training my replacements on the way things are here, today, in Iraq. I don't really have too much to say about that stuff, at least not online in a mass email, but when I'm home and (gain)fully unemployed (yet again) I'll have nothing but time on my hands for talking about my year away from home.
On a lighter note, I've attached a few pictures. Some of you may have noticed that my emails during this deployment ...

Veteran's Day
Posted 11/11/2009 11:04:00 AM
This is a day just
like any other in Iraq. I just came off a 3-day mission driving around
Iraq, meeting with bosses and stuff that officers do. This is a
picture of me with my 8-day-old 'stache while we were stopped at a
military gas-station. Now it's 11 days old and looks like a fuzzy
little caterpillar has decided to rest on my uppper lip. I'm hoping
that I will have something to actually write home about by the end of
November.
On a different note, today is Veteran's Day and I got to thank my
sergeants and Soldiers for volunterring to serve their country, even in
a time of war. I'm not writing this to get a 'thank you' or anything
from you all folks, I'm just saying that when I told those guys "Thank
you" they looked at me as though I had a third army growing ...
