Leaving on a jet plane

Well it's finally here. We're leaving out to head to Afghanistan. The training felt like it went by quick, but it didn't. We've been at it for almost three months. In my opinion it has been mostly a waste of time, and could have done it much quicker. It was disorganized and chaotic, with no one knowing where to be or at what time.

I have found out a lot about the people I'm going with, and for the most part feel pretty confident. We've had quite a few people drop out for various reasons. Let's just say it's a good thing they are going, I think we'll all be a little safer.

Anyway, it looks like we'll have a pretty good internet connection, so hopefully I'll be able to update this a lot more. It's kinda funny that I'll have more access to internet in Afghanistan than I do in Wisconsin. Hopefully this is the last time I ever come to this base. Why couldn't we have MOB'd in Hawaii??
