in the next month or so. I'd be going with a National Guard unit based out to the US Virgin Islands. It's a water purification unit, an MOS I've had for about 8yrs now. I'm a little nervous, a litlle excited, but oddly enough, not really frightened by the idea of going over there. I should know for sure within the next week or so if I'm going. I'll post later with more details.

good luck - my friend has been over there for a couple years doing intelligence work - says the heat is just brutal but you should be used to it.

One of my friends from school is in the British equivalent of the National Guard (the T.A) and was over there for the thing kicking off.

Hope you have a quiet tour and the biggest problem you have is those big fucking spiders!

Dalen, is that Ferenc album in your avatar really good? I was inches away from buying it today used, but put it back. I just haven't heard enough from it, other than clips.

Mike,

What's your musical taste?

Are you bringing an Ipod, laptop or CD player? Let us know if you want some music sent your way.

I am glad I got out before this crap started. I was a combat engineer.

I've had 2 friends get deployed. I hope your tour is safe & uneventful.

Yeah it'd be good to have someone who says "you sumbitches don't know shit" to have first-hand verification of our not-knowing shitness.

Take lots of photos, and view it as a way to see the world and make yourself a better man.
