I have some GOOD news.

I am please to say I am now taking over the regimental rear party duties.

For the non military people that is a fantastic duty. it means I won't be going, I will stay on camp doing guards duty. Just because the reg is away the camp still has to run. For the military/ex What a reprisal...

It means 6 months of Bk Gd duty Sgt. Day on 3 off…

Do you know how long your tour will be or which camp you will be at in Iraq? I was over in Apr 03 to Mar 04 (it sucks being away from family). I heard things have improved for the troops somewhat since then (more paved roads, billets instead of tents, etc) not that it makes the situation any better...anywho, good luck to you and godspeed!

Remember...drink water (you get sick of hearing that ) LOL
