Everything is ready to go. Throughout my various deployments I have learned a few tricks...one of which is vacuum packing. I decided to use my Tilia Food Saver to vacuum pack all my clothes and uniforms along with all my other stuff like toothbrushes, deodorant, shampoo, toothpaste, nut creme, etc. I'd say that my duffel bags now have 30% more space for other things.

Just waiting for the word to go but who knows when that will be.

hurry up and wait..................

You have my utmost respect, UOD, for going to war. When you come back, you will have a standing ovation from me and the respect of every American who can imagine what hell you will be going through.

You make us proud.

We are on tap for something but we don't what it is yet....and of course, I can not speak in exact terms.

We don't know much here on our end. If it was like the last time....we won't until the 11th hour. Either way, we're ready to do our job.

hehe...thanx beast.

I can tell you this...the last time we got the final call to go....it was the 14th time. I left for Saudi on Christmas Eve and arrived via a C-5 on Christmas Day. As soon as we walked off the plane in Dharan, we were met with a Alarm Red. We ran to the bunkers only to find out an hour later that Saddam simply threw on his radar and our Patriots picked it up lol. What a day that was.

I am confused!

I had no idea you were still in the military.

I thought you were home? You mean they might still call you? Don't they have everyone they need?

Well good luck, God bless you, and thank you!!!

Indy · Post by **Indy** » Mon Mar 17, 2003 9:18 pm

Hey Evan, I know what it's like waiting to be called upon, but not knowing the details of the mission...when you go, keep your head down, your eyes sharp, and know that we'll have you in our thoughts

Zilog B · Post by **Zilog B** » Mon Mar 17, 2003 9:19 pm

Good luck UOD! May the force be with you. Also check and see if they still sell that soda that is a mix between orange juice and 7up. I love that stuff. And the beadies too!

In all seriousness, the anxiety was the worst part for me. I remember setting on the edge of the berm that divided Iraq and Saudi, waiting to go through.

Our thoughts are with ya bud!

Yup...still in on active duty....this is my 14th year in.

They may very well have all the resources they need but we all still want to be with our brothers and sisters.

Wow, I didn't realize you might have to go. Knew you were in the military but that's about it.

It certainly makes a lot of the things we've been talking about around here more..... real. I hope you're successful in whatever you do and that you come back safe.
