Yesterday was all kinds of busy, I ran all over Ft. Benning being issued new gear to deploy with. Nothing was really new, in the sense that I had never seen it before, it was simply gear with the new digital camo to replace the issued items from years ago with woodland or desert camo. Fortunately, CIF was accepting returns of gear that had been replaced by digital print items – that let me get rid of about half a duffel bag of stuff I never use.

The majority of my personal equipment is packed up, and right now I am ripping several of my favorite DVDs to my large external HD. As of yet, I still have no address for where I will be going. When I do, I will either post it here, or I will give it to my parents to pass along to various people. It does not look like I will be going anywhere with the same level of infrastructure as FOB Warhorse had, so I may not be able to email, chat, or call as often as I could in OIF3. Let’s just hope OIF5 goes by quickly, and relatively uneventfully. The sooner I get back, the sooner I can ETS and resume my civilian life.
