I’m Going To Be An Infantryman

Wednesday, April 16, 2008

     The headline says it all. Yesterday I finally enlisted into the Regular Army. Next month I’ll ship to Ft Benning, Georgia to train for six weeks to become an Infantryman. I won’t have my first duty station until sometime in May or June. It’s a very daunting idea but I’m excited.

Headin’ South For The Winter

     Well the big news now is that I’m moving to Fort Bliss, Texas for four months. Can’t tell ya when exactly, because frankly I don’t know. I know it’s sometime in the nebulous next week, that’s about it. We’ll be coming back to Fort Riley around 1 February. The news came down about this time last week. They needed fifty people to go and train detainee operations and provide their own support (which is why I’m going, I don’t know a thing about detainee ops) and I volunteered to go and they finally decided to let me go. That’s about all I know now. I’ll update later this afternoon when I get back to Riley, probably.
