and they're off

today was the last day that I will see 99% of the soldier in my troop. May 6 they are leaving to begin pre-deployment. By june, they should be in Germany, and by august, another country [I don't know how public this information is, so I can't say which country they're actually doing their duty].

I'm pretty bummed out. I really wanted to go with them, but I can't because I'm not MOSQ'ed [job qualified], so I'm a no-go.

So yeah. Just spent about 5 hours standing around during this drill tonight, and then said my goodbyes to them.

bummed - out. Mostly every soldier wants to be with their troop/company in these situations. It's like missing family members.

I may or may not be going to FT. Pickett for two weeks soon, training with an air cavalry troop. that would be lots of fun. heliocopter rides galore. But I may not go too. we'll see.

anyways...

good luck guys. have fun.
