A Big Howdy from Alaska

[Armytaco]

Yeah the sign out Ft. Stewart says something along the best post to train, deploy and raise a family....yeah right...Been to OIF 1,3,5, and about to be 7 or 8 whatever it is now. 1-3-5( hence missing 2 and 4..every year is a new OIF year...I think this is about to be 8) had a year of dwell time before deployments....thats including all the training needed to deploy...I am out soon though so. Our brigade got lucky and got the Homeland Security detail which added a year to our dwell time. So almost got 2 years but its not looking good for my friends to be home for Christmas this year. Good luck to your family Bill and maybe by the time I get out the Army we can meet up for some Juliette fishin or anywhere else the wind and fish can take us.
