The draw down
American Soldier says,
The days are now numbers as I await for my departure date. The feeling is different with this trip. Again I find myself on the verge of leaving but this is not a military deployment. There is no safety net that is all around me from the time I show to the moment I arrive on a FOB. Although I will be on a FOB when I do get there.
The last few days have consisted of many phone calls, the administrative paperwork shuffle and figuring out what needs to be done day by day until I leave. I have to say that private insurance, holy cow is it expensive! I am very fortunate to have been blessed with a wife who is strong, caring and supportive in this. I had it in the back of mind that I would be doing something but never could have imagined this. Her thoughts were the same on the subject as well.
I am hopeful that I will continue to be able to blog about my time in the ’stan’. This experience will be fun, rewarding and exciting all in one. Stay tuned for more dispatches as the days draw down.
