That's right, we're getting ready to go across the Atlantic to Kuwait.
But first, a couple housekeeping remarks.
The comment form is open to everyone. So comment. PLEASE.
Sorry about the color, I'm still trying to work out some things with the site design.
I have an address for Iraq, email me if you want it or my home address. beroya.is@gmail.com is my current e-mail.
Okay, so... I should be in Kuwait by Sunday evening or Monday morning. Not sure how much internet access I'll have there, so you may not hear much from me until we hit Balad somewhere around the first of July. I'm still writing, so i expect to have another story or two to post by that time as well.
Well, this week has been interesting, to say the least. It's been an emotional rollercoaster, seeing a lot of people only to say goodbye right away. And I'm the type of person who doesn't really deal with emotions until the last moment, I don't know why, I just can't process it until it's actually happening. So today has been really difficult, realizing that beyond people like Travis, Tim, Brandon, Josh, Jason, My family, Jess, Rachel, Rachael, Kristin, and Andrea, I'm going to miss the State Fair, TSO, the Ren Faire, Christmas, My birthday, Everyone else's birthday, etc, etc, etc. I mean, I knew it, i knew it a long time ago, but It's just now becoming a reality in my head. Homesick seems like a step down from how I've felt today. I mean, hell, I won't even get to experience the cat waking me up in the middle of the night because she wants to look out the window. It's the little things that get me.
If you guys do want to send me stuff, photographs are good, nick-knacks... such as buttons or magnets, stuff to remind me of home. letters, newspaper clippings, comics, Sunday funnies, a devotional that stuck out to you, uhm... 5 gum, jerky(deer if you can get it) and i'm looking for something called coconut water. if i can think of anything else, I'll be sure to post it.
Well, I'll try to catch you guys up on my adventures in Kuwait here in a couple weeks!

400 days of Deployment through the eyes of an Army Reservist from Iowa.
Haat, Ijaa, Haa'it
Welcome to A Warrior's Eyes.
My goal here is to give the general public a look into what a Soldier actually does while Deployed overseas. I hope you enjoy, and I appreciate your comments/thoughts on my posts. Also, as a side note, if anybody knows where i can get a pair of authentic Mandalorian Crushgaunts, I would greatly appreciate it.

ReplyDeleteOnce you've got the address for your base, I'll get you the Limbaugh Letter, and of course send you everything else of note.
ReplyDeleteYou're right, the little stuff does hit you hardest.
Yeah, this is all going to be a big change. Even scarier than going to summer camp for a week. I think you'll find ways to make it interesting. I forfeited my summer to work a boring 8 to 5 job miles away from my friends, so I kinda feel like I'm missing out on some things too. According to my brother-in-law Joel, there are some things in the Middle East to remind you of home. We'll miss you! Keep us posted on your adventures.
