yea, thats short for a typical deployment, unless you're in intel where its target based and you could be back in two weeks.

JerzLT1 03-04-2008 05:42 PM

Good luck Josh. I got your text on my way into work when I remembered to check my phone. We'll have to get together before you head out.

Good Luck & be safe Man, don't forget your red bandana and to watch Rambo before you head out. One of my friends just enlisted in the Army and he ships out I think at the end of the summer. Best of luck. Jeff.
