Headed Downrange
Just home from Kosovo in December, Civvie life is boring and my head really isn't in college right now, few buddies from overseas and myself volunteered for a deployment to the sandbox - we leave tomorrow. Figured if we wern't doing much back home we might as well try to make an impact overseas.
Just wanted to take a moment to thank everyone, QP's and all, for the excellent site. I can't begin to describe how much I've learned just from lurking on the boards. I'll be popping in as much as my job allows.

Stay Safe Fonzy, and as one of my favorite Sergeant says, "We are here to provide support and guidance; So, shoot first and wear a cup!"
Check in from time to time and let us know how it is going...My families prayers will be with you.
