Celtic,
I know it's no joke, pal. I was just ribbing you a bit. When I was a kid I met an old merchant-marine who had the misfortune of being in the South China Sea where their boat got too close to one of the Spratly Islands. It's really like the old china under the warlords.. pirates, china-white runners, gunboats, and every country and their dog claiming a piece of these little islands, many of which got ..
anyway I'm rambling.
Gita, no worries mate, I guessed you were, see my post on this topic.
Celtic grins with a wicked sparkle of mischief in his eye.
Yeru, I just want to say... all politics aside, I truly respect and admire anyone who volunteers to go to Iraq or Afghanistan.
Whatever and wherever your new assignment is, I hope that it's a fulfilling one for you, and I'm sure that you'll do your duty.
Let me finish my 20 years and get my retirement locked in...I'm actually hunting for a job in the military still.
Hey Yeru
Did you read the last Army Times about security clearences? Is is possible for you to get a TS? The job market would truly open up for you if you could indeed change MOS (if you wanted). Given the nature of your job I'm not sure if you carry and security clearence one or not. With all the 'bear' MOS's out there if you are in one now you could switch and keep any SRBs if you do indeed change to another bear MOS and have several things to do on the outside.

I'm the best at doing my job

I'm trying to get a ride to Iraq or Afghanistan
Please do not wish for that, my friend. Yes, you are strong. But no one needs to participate in the types of things that you may have to if you seek active combat.
Stay here, where you can be of help to those damaged souls who are returning from 'the conflict'.
On a selfish note, I just don't wanna lose you. ;)
