Hey, finally I get back to you guys. I am sitting here at Ft. Sill on my pass. I am officially being stationed here when I finish AIT which will be 3 weeks. Well it's supposed to be 3 weeks. Due to stress fractures it might be longer. My unit will be deploying in August for Iraq. I only have 3 months before I go to war. I'm so excited. I want to go serve. I'm currently top in my class and in the running for Distinguished Honor Grad. That's pretty awesome. I'm officially faster and more efficient at my MOS (job) than my instructor. That's awesome as well. I love this Army thing. It can be hard and it can be painful. But the feeling of knowing that I'm doing what it right for me and my country as well as making my parents and brother proud after all the dumb things I have done to make them ashamed of their relation to me is the greatest feeling I could ever have. I may have not shown it in the past but I love my family and my friends. I will do anything to make them happy and help keep them safe. Even if it means giving my life in a foriegn land.
