    Default I ship out to Iraq On January 5, 2005

    Just received my papers today. After a little over 2 years in the army reserves, im being shipped out. This is my first "active" duty since joining. I was only stationed at Fort Dix for about 9 months prior.
    My family is pretty upset, which is normal I guess. I will surely miss all this stuff. Im at least glad I get to spend the Holiday's with my family and friends.
    I wish you all the best of luck, but hey, ya never know, I might be back being a brat a year or 2 from now bugging you all again.

    Salute!

    Gabe, thanks for defending this country, you are already a hero in my eyes. My cousin ships out on Dec. 30th so I know what your family is going thru.

    If you want a Gmail account like alot over there already have since it allows larger attachments, please PM me with your email addy and I will send you an invite ASAP. (I will earmark one invite for Gabe just in case, but I have 5 more if anyone else is interested PM me.)

    Thanks for the support. I skipped work today to be with my girlfriend of 2 years, its gonna be brutal. Not sure if things will last....We talked a lot, about everything...O brother....

    This is my duty, I will go and do my best to serve our country. I have 2 cousins in iraq currently and they are allowed to use the internet frequently, So I'll stop by sometime to let you guys and gals know whats going on, and what it's like firsthand.

    On a lighter note, i still got about 3 weeks left of freedom lol, so I'm gonna try to make the best of it.

    Thanks a lot for serving your country - we all def appreciate it... It's a huge sacrifice, but remember that the majority of the American people stand behind you... My friend just finished his tour there and is in Kuwait as we speak, awaiting a flight home... he was able to get internet access quite often actually... Godspeed and thanks again!

    Go for the Gmail account. It's the best.... Grab a lot of good memories in the next three weeks.... Thanks for being there for the USA in a difficult test of rebuilding.... Good luck, take care of yourself, and post on SCJ/SW when you can.
