Title: Farewell for 18 months
Post by: Firehead on January 05, 2007, 06:35:08 PM
As many of you know, I am deploying with the 1/158th Infantry to Afghanistan. We leave tomorrow morning at approximately 6 AM. I will be gone for approximately 18 months. I hope you all have fun airsofting while I'm gone. I'll be checking in periodically. See you all soon, and its been fun playing airsoft with what little time I have had.

Woot woot.  Do you know if they're going to send you to Irwin or Polk for pre-deployment training, or are you just going to receive that at Bragg?

When the shooting starts, make sure you shoot the same direction. I'm sorry I did not call, my cellphone gets poor assed reception up here in Montana. I was also busy putting your lessons into action, repelling a home invasion.

Thank you for your lessons, and your friendship.

I'm buying when you get back.
