The Adventure Begins

Well I am on my way to Ft Bliss, Tx to join my new unit which will be deploying to Iraq with for Operation Iraqi Freedom III as a Fire Support Officer. I just got home on the 16th of July from Ft. Sill, Oklahoma where I was for just over 4 1/2 months for OBC. I had to pull some strings while at OBC to change units IOT deploy with this artilley unit, of course I will be a few weeks late in joining them. I look forward to beginning my experience as an officer in a combat zone. JM
