Time to go

[benhall]

To all in TDR and the Land of BOMBing,



The time has come and for some it will not come as a surpise. I will be deploying in about two weeks to a classified location. I will be gone for at least six months and without a date of return. I will post on my departure day or the day prior to leaving. I will also leave my log in and password to my mom, so she can post on my welfare.



I will do my best, serve my country, salute my flag and keep my *** down if need be.

Interesting

Well, with all the phones calls that I have made since I have found out, and briefings that I have been to, I slept like a rock last night. :-laf



Thank you everyone for your support. I need it and the rest of us need it, and hope that this doesn't take that long.

Note, this isn't my last post yet. lol

be safe and be alert,





I would like to meet you later on in life if you ever end up where I work



California Vets Home in Yountville, CA.



I thank you and those who served before you every day.



I did not serve, but now I serve those who did and what a privilege.



I wish you and your family



GOD SPEED

Gods speed to you.



To be on the safe side, grab a random bullet, write you name on it and keep it in your pocket. If it's in your posession, you're home free. The odds of there being two of them out there are astronomical!:-laf :-laf



We will look forward to your safe return.

 

[Bill Lins]

Good luck, good hunting, & Godspeed.

 

[jandtjil]

Benhall take care!

Look forward to your safe, speedy return.

It was a shame that we had to cancel the planned trip to Munich at the very last minute Ben, so I guess we'll get the chance again later this year. Your current tour in Germany was due to complete later this year, so does that mean you'll be returning stateside direct or with a detour via Spangdahlen AFB?



Stay in touch!

 

[benhall]

Thank you all for your concerns. When this is all done and over with, I will come back to Germany to finish my tour, what's left of it.



Update: Departure time has been moved up, but still undisclosed.

Update

Well, here is what is going on now: I will be leaving sometime soon, date still unknown, but I do know where I will be going to. I will be going to Saudi Arabia for at least 179 days. From there I could get deployed to someplace else. I took the anthrax and small pox vaccines today. The small pox doesn't hurt that much, but that anthrax hurts like hell. lol



Will post before deploying.
