I didn't know that trainers deployed from the schoolhouse. How do your fellow trainers feel about that? Do you know a female, SSG Crawford. She, too, teaches in the school house.

Yes I know SSG Crawford. None of us thought that our trainers would be going anywhere either, but we got a tasking for nearly all of our 25U instructors to go and teach the Iraqi Army. We have also gotten a few other taskings for people to go over there, and it looks like I may be filling one of those spots. Oh well, I can't complain. Today is exactly one year back in the states for me. Just dreading having to take that long freaking flight again.

On the third deployment atm. 1. Bushmaster Dogwood Lion BIAP (Baghdad International Airport) 2. Anaconda (*TMI*) It was possibly the easiest time I have ever had in the Army since my unit was pretty lenient on everything other than the mortars. 3. And atm in the middle of a major Iraqi city (not Baghdad)
