I leave tomorrow for a 179 day deployment downrange. This time (thankfully) I'm not being deployed with an Army unit so I shouldn't be out patrolling nearly as much. I'm heading downrange mostly as a trainer, in order to help out the other airmen on their first deployments and to offer training to some of the local nationals.

From what I hear the entire base now has wi-fi, and I'll be working 12 hour shifts 4 days on and 1 off so free time will be a rare luxury for me. I'll stop by when I can to say hi and I'll be back again early next year.

Where are you being deployed?

Afghanistan or Iraq?

Genmotty · 27 Jul 2009, 22:47

Classified.

Isn't that both rule number 1 and 2 in the USA handbook??

Make sure they aim at the right target! Good Luck!

12-hour shifts on a 4:1, eh? Wi-Fi?

Beats the hell out of 10-hour shifts on a 7:0, if you ask me.

Sounds a lot like our Al Asad base, actually, which is, oddly enough a better station to be at than where I'm currently at; Twentynine Palms, hehe. Al Asad actually has a Starbucks and a MacDonalds!

Have fun out there man, and stay motivated. I know what the real danger is overseas; boredom.

Don't let it, and it's cousin complacency, get to you.

Well after this whole IED mess I think they updated it to "Good luck, don't get shot *or blown up*"
