hey all. i'm deploying to afghanistan for a 365-day tour. i just found out today, after rumors started yesterday morning, and will be reporting to ft bragg, nc for training on april first. sounds like a great opportunity, but wish i had some more notification.

 

o man that sucks! BOO!

ill take care of your car while your going

atleast you will make more money out there. Are you a Pilot?

 

no, civil engineer. the financial benefits are indeed mouth watering... lol. family separation pay, hazardous duty pay, and all income is tax free!

 

Yep thats why my step mom loved going to Turkey and Saudi haha i wish i could get paid with no taxes

atleast you dont have to worry about being shot (knock on wood)

 

oh yeah wait till you get back and see your bank account. It isn't to bad there. Is this your first deployment?

 

thats an early April fools hahahahha, JK though Maybe we can meet up before you go and take a cruise up through cloudcroft. Talk to you laters bro.

 

Good luck with your journey!

 

thanks for all your support. it's my first deployment so i'm real anxious to get out there. i'm going crazy trying to get everything in order before i leave.... jebus!
