The Call to Duty

Wednesday, September 14th- I received the call from my new admin. sgt at ~9:00 AM. I was notified that I had been pulled off the "stay behind list" and unto the deployment roster. This essentially means that I have 30 days to receive my orders and depart to Mississippi where the rest of the deployees from the MN National Guard are headed next week. With the limited information that I and others have, all I can tell you guys is that we will be in Mississippi for ~5-6 months for train-up and then out to "southwest Asia" for a year (a quick geography lesson will show you that yes, Iraq is included). Out.
