28 April, 2009. My first week here at our MOB site can be summed up with simply "Waiting in Line". That's. All we've really done so far. We arrived, stepped off the plane, and got in line to get checked into Ft. Hood. After that we got in line to take our seats for a briefing. After the briefing we got in another line to pee in a cup (gotta love piss tests! After that we boarded some buses. And allowed to start unpacking. The next week was a series of more lines. First we had to go to the SRP. Posted by ...

22 May, 2009. I can't believe that its been a month since I have written on my blog! It is very surprising that we have been gone for over a month. It is also amazing how quickly I was able to get things fixed! Yesterday, after I got back from running around in all my gear all day I was told I had to go to an emergency meeting. I was told that if I wanted to re-enlist, that I had to do so within an hour and a half. To top it off I had to take a PT test before I could re-enlist! Talk to you all soon.

20 August, 2009. The First 30 Days. As crazy as that sounds, it was actually really fun. After a few weeks of training it was time to get ready for missions. Unfortunately things would take a different turn for me. On the road I don't think about home; I don’t think I have time. On the road it's just me and my soldiers (or somebody else’s as the case has been). On the road I think about things like "did they all clean their weapons properly? Do the gunners have enough flares? What is that car doing?

01 September, 2009. That question was soon answered when I was told I would go out with another CET from my platoon; SSG J’s CET. SSG J had already gone on his first mission, so he would be in charge on this mission and I would be observing him. I was sure I was going to see a head-on collision this time. But again, they’ve been doing this for a while and there were no accidents. Once the trash in the street was cleared we were roving around the convoy looking for anybody hiding in the bushes. Eventu...

02 July, 2009. Because now I can FINALLY get promoted for real! I have no idea when I'll actually get promoted but its only a matter of time. When I think about all that has gone on since I left it seems like I've been gone forever. As I think about this I think about all the things I'm going to miss over the next 10 months as I'm in Iraq and Kuwait. Thinking about it all it makes me miss my family even though I just saw them a few short days ago. Posted by SSG Guardsman. 02 July, 2009 06:12. View My Mil...

08 August, 2009. A Trip to the Desert. It took me a while to actually get internet access where I’m at. Now that I finally had it, I found that I’ve had a severe case of writer’s block. While much has happened in the last 30 days I figure I can tell you about our trip over here…. Wait in line to get your ID card swiped. Wait in line to get a seat for the briefings we’d do. Wait in line to. The first leg of our trip took us from Fort Hood to Maine. Landing there we had a short layover. Enough to s...A gro...
