I wish you the best... but out of curiosity, why was this the "worst call"? Sounds like you don't want to go... perhaps you signed up before you realized the implications?

??? no one really wants to fight ever, even the heavyweight boxer gets nervous before his bout.

Good luck, there is a 'calm' now, hopefully you serve your time with non-events and return safely.

Don't forget to sit on your helmet during those helicopter rides. The best of luck to you!

Definitely not a hot deal, but good luck and stay safe.

Stay safe over there - my aunt and uncle are in Afghanistan now, working as medics, and their unit has already come under fire. That whole situation is a mess. Be careful, and try to make the best with what's been given to you:)

Depends on how you look at it.

He could give some terrorists a great deal on hot lead... maybe even B1G1F w/coupon...here's the code: KIZZURAZZGBYE

Good luck, and come home safe!

Dude, shoot a terryist for me. (I'm from redneck SC, that's how we say those things 'round here). Preferably with a painful load. A fatal, yet not killshot, wound would be perfect. Right in the gut, I guess.

Seriously though, are you gonna see any action? Or are you a support / non combat troop?

I was recalled post 9/11 but only to Norfolk, VA. I lived in Bahrain for almost three years and enjoyed the culture. Probably won't be too much of that in Iraq tho.
