Not Too Long Now

Well sometime next week I'll be winging my way across the Atlantic enroute to Kuwait enroute to Iraq. Joy. We're expecting 15 months, but of course the volatility of the political situation there and here will determine just how long we're over there.
This deployment is hitting me a lot harder than my last one. Maybe it's because I know how long the days are, how worn down you get, and the completely alternate reality that envelopes your life when you're living the Army 24 hours a day 7 days a week.
I'm not sure when I'll be on myspace or facebook once I get over there, but I'll try to respond to anyone who hits me up on my email.
I'm well and truly on an emotional roller coaster over the next few days, here's hoping that I'll calm down once we actually get in country. Please keep me in your prayers if you're a religious type, I could definitely use them.
