Eruption
This weekend was my last drill before my Activation. Simply, we're splitting up. This is not a Unit Activtion, the Unit is just loaning us out. Some of the Unit will be left behind. Stiil, the majority of us are going to Iraq...And the ones being left here stand a possibility of being called up as well.
The Battalion Commander got teary eyed on us at the final formation. His Command is being fractured and sent out. Unfortunatly, some of us may not return. No one likes to think about it, but, it's true. So, our being farmed out to the needs of CENTCOM is like an eruption to me. Some of us MOB(pronounced "mobe") now, some later. The Unit will be a skeleton of cadre. Our seargent major left to a new assignment too. I can understand the LTC's emotion.
I'm trying to mantain positivness though. Yeah, it's scary. I don't like going away, but, I have a job to do. We just have a job to do and we're going to give it our best.
You Never know
I heard of a boy getting killed in a car wreck here Friday night. He was a young feller, nice enough. he served during the Reguvinator's(formerly known as Jello Boy) Wedding Reception. I remember him saying he was from down around Augusta Ga. He came here for the College. he was trying to beat his Girl Freind to her place in order to suprize her for her Birthday. I think they said he flipped a Jeep. Apparently, he was fine, responding well, then killed over dead. I was told a collasped lung. Some things just ain't worth hurrying for. I didn't know him other than that time at the reception. He was a nice guy that day. God Rest His Soul. You never know when it's going to happen, so you better live today.
A Happy Boy
Twister has made freinds with a boy that has a .50 Cal Rifle. he get's to shoot it. He's tickled.

I started calling him that because with his grin and his beard he looks like one of the guy';s on the Just For Men commercials. Really, I'm not kidding. Just watch the things, that's him.
Now about one of the Weasel Girls...Well, they are only human too.
And just what nickname does Reguvenator (Jello Boy) and Twister have for you, A.I.?
Everyone calls Twister, Twister. EVERYONE. I don't thnk they have a name for me. They don't know each other.
You take care of yourself over there AI! Sorry to hear about the death close to home...
That's true, Murf, but, I won't (I hate to use the term) kill myself over a Woman. No matter what her backside looks like.
I'll do it Sage, and thanks. It's not good to see such a nice fellar, especialy young get killed in such a way. I heard that it really upset the folks he worked with.
Hi, hope you're doing well. Sorry to hear about the death of that young man.
I'm doing about as good as the circumstances allows me, Annalis. Now, it's alright about the boy, I only met him that one time. But, thanks none the less.
.50 Cal - Was it bolt action or semi? I've never shot one, always thought I'd like to though.
I beleive it was a blot. Don't know much more. he loved it though.
