zagnut Posted May 26, 2004 Posted May 26, 2004 Hey all, I have been activated for deployment. Not sure what the final destination is, but I'll keep you guys up to date. I do know that I'm going to get a new (MOS 31 series), which starts next Tuesday in Sacramento. I'll drop a line when I can, and do my upmost to complete my duty. Zag Quote
SDirickson Posted May 26, 2004 Posted May 26, 2004 Good luck, and definately keep us up to date. Quote
+pcpilot Posted May 26, 2004 Posted May 26, 2004 Deployments can be pretty exciting, and more than a little confusing. Did a few myself so some advice...Make sure your weapon is clean, your gear squared away and ready to move at a moments notice, keep your eyes open, shut your mouth, and listen to every bit of detail and info from your sgt. Sounds simple doesnt it, but youd be surprised how many DONT get it. ...oh, and good luck pal. Keep us posted and if you need anything at all drop me an email at pcpilot@nethere.com, or PM me here at Biohaz, Ill get it for you. :o ;) Semper Fi... Quote

zagnut Posted May 30, 2004 Author Posted May 30, 2004 Thankyou all for your replies, I really appreciate it! Well, I now have orders, uniforms, and ID card. It took two fun filled days at Nellis AFB getting that stuff, as I was originally going to be processed in June. (Oh well) Anyways, I'll post when I get the opportunity, but I'm not sure what the living arrangements are going to be. I will be at Camp Parks near Sacramento, CA for the next eight weeks for phase 1&2 condensed commo school, then off to Ft. Irwin to join up w/ my unit. I'm now a member of the 221st Armor Cav under the 11th Armored Cavalry Regiment. The cool thing is that we're an OPFOR unit, so I'm sure that I'll get my fill of war games out the ying-yang. :P I just hope that the business in Iraq is over soon. I don't think we will have to go since our mission is the train others in CONUS, but if the time comes, I will do my duty. About the pictures; I really want to be able to take some for you guys, but I don't have a digital camera yet. Maybe after the 15th I can get one at the PX. :) Thanks again to all, and like I said, I'll post when I get another chance. Zag Quote
