I'll be leaving for Afghanistan shortly. Like always there will be good and bad to this, but I'm trying to see the positive (experience) vs. the negative (leaving a new baby again).

Like last time, when I come back there will be things to improve about the car. Might even replace it.

I'm anticipating not having very good internet connectivity even when I'm not out on mission, living out of my rucksack. So I'll look forward to talking to y'all when I get back, or when I seize an opportunity to use a connected computer somewhere.

As a thanks for stopping by my thread, here's a pic of my freshly painted M4.

 

GL homie....get home safe!

 

If you have any questions shoot me an email (or call). It's all fairly fresh in my head. Keep your head down, do what it takes to get home, and never get complacent!!!

 

ttyl, xoxo.

 

Speaking of which, have you finished that writeup?

 

Good job with painting that M4. Most people try to put too much detail into it and it blends together.

I got two brothers rotating through, and two other brothers who were already there (since as far back as "Desert Shield"). Stay safe.

 

Be safe my friend.

 

Sorry to hear it, gonna miss ya bro. Hopefully the days fly by and you get home soon. We'll hold down the fort while your gone, you just stay focused on the task at hand and keep your eyes on the prize! Be safe man.

Oh and nice job on the paint. If it shoots as good as it looks you'll have no problem! See ya soon.

 

Take care of yourself.

How do they say that in Arabic?


We'll see you when you get back. Good luck and Godspeed.

 

Take care bro.

 

Take care man, if you need anything, let us know. It sucks being deployed, but the tax free income and bonus money you get paid isn't bad. Also, the AF has it to where when your deployed you can put money into an account that draws 10% interest, up to 10000 dollars. Do you have that?

 

Good luck, try not to find out how an IED works.

 

Enjoy the adventure, and be safe.

 

Once you get there post up an address where we can send **** to and let us know if you need anything. I am sure we would all pitch in to get you some luxuries.

 

Be careful and make sure you get home OK.

Thanks for serving. Lets hope experience ≠ getting shot at.

 

Good luck over there. Be safe and come back in one piece.

 

Stay safe.

We'll miss you.

 

+1 Hell yeah!

 

Good hunting.

 

Stay safe and thanks for serving.
