The Sandbox


Well, I'm currently deployed to Balad, Iraq. I believe the hardest day of my life was when I said goodbye to Kelli for a whole year. But the good news is that time is flying by. I started Mobilization on May 1, 2009 and will be back around May of 2010. I'm the Company Commo guy. I have my own shop and it's my job to make sure all of our vehicles have their communications up and running before they leave out on missions. We are currently doing Convoy Security, which means we provide security for civilian contracted convoys all over Iraq. The weather over here is absolutely miserable, especially when there's a dust storm.
