For the record, yes the apprehension is setting in. I talked to my dad last night and now his sister, my aunt, is freaked out "because of what she sees on TV". I don't know if Mom told Abuela yet. She was thinking of telling her that I was actually in jail, not BCT. I guess I'd be in the lockup again if I got deployed. I told her to use the crime of civil disobedience for the 6 month absence, and I guess I'd get a year for a second incident with maybe me biting a police officer.

It just looms like such a long time, even though I know it'll go by fast. BCT is only two months, and after that I'm in Virginia with my family nearby. My dad's already found out about getting a pass to go onto Fort Lee whenever he needs to fetch me. Of course, he's Secret Agent Man too, so he probably can go onto any military base at will if he shows his Office of Secret Intelligence card like Brock Sampson does. (Is that the name of his outfit, youngfreud?)

Shadow got the word; he's going back to Iraq in mid-2006. We're figuring I'll be in the baggage somewhere, along with his LOTR playset and his garden gnome.

God that's sad she's lying. Why doesn't she just come clean with your grandmother?

I don't know that she's going to use that story. I don't know if she's told her at all.

All I can say is, you're a brave, brave woman.

Guh, your friend is going BACK?

[kishiriadgr.livejournal.com]

Yeah. Being scared doesn't mean you're not brave, it's being scared and doing what you gotta do anyway that shows you ARE.

Yup, they're replacing 3rd Infantry, who had been replaced by First Cav.

God, he's going back again? That's terrible! I'm wondering if they will send me when I get back home... blah!

[kishiriadgr.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but if we all go together we can converge on Camp Victory and have a "Sieg Zeon" party. He's the one with the same tattoo as me.

Are y'all kidding?? I'm looking FORWARD to going back! Where the heck else am I going to actually get to do my job? New Orleans?

1st Cav doesn't go back until late 2006 thanks to some internal politics, so I've got a year to stew in this morass of the blind before I get to serve a purpose again. I don't know how all those guys stood it spending their entire careers during the Cold War with nothing to do but wait. The boredom must have been atrocious.
