Default OT - Deploying Again

I just wanted to drop in and let my friends here know that I'm off to the Sandbox again. RC-South in Afghanistan this time. Right now it's cold there, so the biggest enemy is boredom from what I'm hearing. Hopefully, it'll stay that way. I should have email and whatnot fairly reliably, so if you have something, don't hesitate to send me a note.

Good luck, Eddie. Keep everybody safe over there.

I understand the necessity of rotating personnel out, even during a drawdown, but it's still strange to think that you're on your way in as the Coalition is drawing up logistics plans to move people and equipment out.

Eddie, don't forget to duck just because you've made it this far. Flying objects are notoriously indifferent to rank and experience. Keep your powder dry, man.

Keep your feet and powder dry, and your head down.

Take no crazy chances. You're a veteran, so just follow your instincts and come home safe.

Gook luck; as one of the posters said, you already know what you're doing. (But don't get complacent!) And if you ever meet a tall beanpole sergeant named James Sumner, tell him his uncle doesn't appreciate his nephew being in a combat zone without writing him!

keep your powder dry, your socks clean and remember your armor is "fragile if dropped"

but stay safe and run a game while your there if the boredom gets too bad.

I second that from Bobcat...."Dont drop your helmet, it might break". Great. Thanks.

Come back safe and bring as many back safe as you can too.
