((Hey Gang,
Well, it looks like it's official. I'm getting to take a second, all-expenses, paid trip for the DoD.
Well... I guess it was going to happen sooner or later. On the plus side, this is only the second time I won the military deployment lottery. )) |

((Labrn,
I'm not gone yet. That's in the pipeline.
Anyway, *shrug* I never really brought it up. I don't usually talk about myself much. I've been in for... shoot 8 years and change now. )) |

Im not in the military but I have a friend who is in the 13th MEU who got done with his service recently and another who just joined, but I have no idea what branch he is in.
So basically you dont know the exact date you are getting deployed? |

((Tsavo et al,
I do appreciate the protective well-wishes. Thank you.
To Arcanus,
I cannot discuss stuff like that, until it has happened. So... I know... the unit knows... but we are not allowed to give actual dates and stuff yet.
Katmir,
I'm in the Reserves. I'm Chemical branch, but right now working in the Quartermaster Corps. So... I'm a Dragon of the Battlefield ^_^ )) |

| Man, I feel a bit ignorant knowing you this long and never once thought you were in the service. |
