This is my first post and blog as I prepare for deployment to Afghanistan.
Nearly 23 years in the Army (15 Active, 8 Reserve) and this is my first deployment!
It's my turn and duty calls.
I've been scrounging around the internet buying stuff I'll need. I've been plucked from my Reserve medical unit and assigned to a Civil Affairs unit. No idea what I'll be doing or where I'll be going (except to CRC at Ft Benning en route to Afghanistan).

Lots of hurry up and waiting ahead. It's OK, been there, done that...
