January 5, 2008: It became official this Saturday that I was to return back to the middle east for my second deployment. This news didn't come as a great surprise really, it just made it official. Once I was transferred to my current unit, it was understood that they would be deploy, it just wasn't known when.
My last deployment left me wishing that I had kept a journal of sorts, that I could share with people while I was there, so that they might be able to understand what I was doing, and what the day to day life of a soldier in the theater of operations is.
Before I go any further, I would like to mention that there are a number of soldiers who have been punished for posting blogs, pictures, and e-mails that give away the specifics of certain activities in the area of operations. In order to avoid any possibility of this happening, I don't plan on posting any specifics about times, dates, numbers, or locations. Also, it will be difficult for me to post a journal entry every day, so expect me to post multiple dates at one time, and these entries will be transferred from a paper journal that I will be keeping.
So, I hope you'll enjoy reading future entries from me, and I hope you'll share your feelings, and ask any questions you might have. So, until the next time.
