Jon Maybe One Day's blog: "Deploying"

Well I got here in Iraq ok. At this moment Im in limbo waiting for the rest of my squad to show up from different places from the US and Germany. I know what I'll be doing and actually know some of the guys I'll be working with. Some are Navy Seals and others are from other Special Ops Units from within the Army. My time on here is limited as when I leave here I wont have any access to the internet for weeks at a time till we are flown back to the rear once every 2-3 weeks. This place seems to have gotten better since the last time I was here. At least now I know that I will be coming to the rear to recoup where as before I had no clue. I thought I would be training soldiers on the new weapons that are being moved into the field but I was wrong. Wishful thinking I guess. I dont know exactly when I leave here but I know its within hrs so till next time. Take Care Jon

Well Im leaving Ft Bragg in an hr to fly out. Thought I was leaving last night but that didnt happen cause I was still in processing pretty late. Today I was issued my gear and still have no clue what unit I will be with or what I will be doing. Im off of here till I dont know when so later all. Jon

Just wanted to say bye to everyone before I leave. Show me some love while Im deployed so when I get access to a computer I will have lots of msg and gifts to respond to. If anything like it was last time I will get access once every 2-3 weeks. Take care Jon

For those of you that dont know I was activated back to active duty here recently and have just got word I will be leaving this Friday....Like 2 days from now. I knew it was coming just didnt know when. I dont know how long I will be gone this time as last time it was only a couple of months but this one may be a bit longer. I dont mind but I just wish they gave me more time to prepare myself in my head. Being there and here are 2 different worlds and unlike here things can get stressful really fast almost everyday. I wont have access to a computer but maybe once every 2 weeks or so. Everyone take care and to the people I have met while on fubar and talk to all the time remember that I will think of all of you often. Jon
