Found out i'm getting deployed mid December

[Armykid93]

Title says it. Its not 100 percent but it still sucks. From how they explained its pretty much definite that i'm going. My wife was pretty upset but sure understands. Just wanted to say it somewhere I guess.

It's never a good time. Thank you for your services.

Thanks for the support. I knew it was coming eventually and i'm not mad or anything because I signed up for it but it doesn't make it easy lol

Seems cant reply without quoting: good luck

Wish you the best brother. Thank you for serving. Where are you getting deployed? What is your MOS?

I'm a 35F, Intel analyst so my deployment won't be physically demanding and honestly I was so stunned by the news that I didn't really listen to anything after they told me you could go, ya know? My first sergeant told me when I got to this unit I wouldn't go. Not his fault of course.

[Lunk1]

Quite honestly I'm envious! If you enlist it should be your goal to fight IMO! Otherwise it's like 4 years of football practice and never getting to play in a game! Congrats!

thats one way of looking at it..

op, although not everyone will agree, to a certain extent, you're making the world a safer place...

[MickeyKnox]

I feel for you and your family bro.

But yeah like Lunk said, i would give my left nut (and my right, take em both!) to go serve for my country. And im not just saying that. Believe me, if you knew me, you'd know im telling the truth.

Thanks you for your service, and i wish you all the best out there if you're deployed.

[cherrydrpepper]

Intel analyst sounds like best of both worlds. You're there to participate in the action but don't have to worry about catching a bullet? Anyway thanks for doing what you do.

[Euroholic]

Uhmm no offence but why whould you enlist for the army and say it sucks when you get deployed? Thats the hole reasoning behind unrestricted service. The government needs to get there worth out of you somehow. Be proud bro i was pumped on my first deployment. I was in the army for 4 years was awsome i loved being deployed i dont no whats its like in america but in aus deployments pay big dollars.

It blows my mind i always thought of america as a big shoot em up kind of country that loves the strong tuff warrior. But seeing this show of surport for non combat role blows my mind. In aus you have to be infantry to get respected.

Stay safe and Enjoy your infantry surport role my friend.

[lstbred]

Good luck bud! Im by a big AF base so one of my boy's are deploying all the time.....and you know what? they've all come home safe!

[red_hulk]

Good luck and thank you for your service!

Before you come on a thread and disrespect someone try reading their previous comments. I am excited for it but I'm sad I'll have to leave my wife because I live for her, but I do it because I get to serve the greatest country in the world. I blatantly said that I know what I signed up for as well.

Thanks brotha. Honestly I wanna get deployed but wish I could have been with my wife a bit longer. I just got out of training about 3 months ago. Yes I know most people get deployed like right after AIT but still lol

Thanks dude. I'm excited and nervous haha. My wifes really mature so i'm not concerned about how she will do but not being around for a while is gonna blow

Yup, not any combat unless I volunteer for a patrol I think, but then again I've never been deployed so idk if its even an option for my MOS to go outside the wire, idk how anything works deployed, knowing the army they will probably make me stay on the FOB lol.

Im not disrespecting you mate maybe i miss read your post but your first paragraph says "it sucks" which to me sounds like you dont want to go. Unrestricted service means your nation before your self and all others.

Something about this reminded me of the time I accidentally downloaded this porn of this girl getting railed by a horse

[lstbred]

ahahahhaahhaha!!! I actually lol

[Lunk1]

I was married during my enlistment in the Corps during the first Gulf War and honestly, while very difficult to be away from loved ones including your wife. It made us much stronger than those who have never experienced the hardship of military deployment! You will both be stronger for the experience.

You guys these days have it so nice as you have the ability to communicate regularly through emails, phone calls and skype. We had letters lol. I would not put any stress on if you will patrol, you won't...not in your position. It's not worth it to lose a support member in a position like yours. Thank you for your sacrifice!

@Euroholic...the Op is clearly stating he will miss his family but is proud to serve. Surely you can understand that position.

[Honkey_Kong]

Good luck out there. And Dude for your own good, make sure you don't leave the wife with access to all of your money and/or credit cards. You have heard the stories of other guys by now who find out halfway through their deployment that their wife spent every dime they had, maxed out their credit cards and/or cheated on them. Setup automatic bill pays if you need to. Sounds like paranoia, but those stories are no joke.

[Lunk1]

CDP..while I appreciate a sense of humor as much or more than most. I'm not sure this is a thread where this is all that appreciated! Perhaps you have never been in a position where you would understand....

The military will make him do a complete Power of Attorney! This is so his wife can deal with any issues that may arise that can not be taken care of prior to deployment

I think you misunderstood. I found what Euroholic said to be retarded and offensive. So I referenced the most retarded offensive thing i've ever seen.

[AdrenalineJunkie]

+1
I found it offensive too. He never once complained about serving. His complaint is leaving his wifes side for so long, which is completely understood. The comments weren't necessary, he's a soldier and still a human. Let the man vent euro.

OP- respect! Appreciate all you do. Goodluck

Not really bro i have no family so thats why i wanted to be away on deployments.

[Euroholic]

Im sorry if i offended anyone maybe this is a clash of cultures and the one eyed view of a rifleman but we were always taught that you have infantry and everone else that surports the infantry. And those who served no how much things get drilled into you that you believe them to be gospel.

I wont post anymore if i Think it may offend.

No you should feel free to post I kind of regret being internet police on you. I've said dumb shit myself plenty of times I remember one time after a UFC fight I came in here saying what a fat pile of crap one of the fighters was and it turned out his training partner comes on these forums. I felt pretty dumb so whatever its the internet. Lets forget and move on. I think sometimes with the internet we all have a tendency to just throw out whatever we are thinking instead of weighing all the pros and cons.

what? the first gulf war let me do the math that means your ..... 65?

[Shol'va]

Ok my turn to chime in. Armykid I too wish you the best. My only hope is that they one, give you the weapons and the ammo necessary to get the job done the first time around. second to not bind your arms behind your back with rules of engagement that keep you from getting the job done. I hate these stupid wars where they send you over to fight then tell you what you cannot do by putting so many restrictions on how to engage the enemy that it put you and your entire platoon in jeopardy all the time you are there. This to me is complete BS and those who write the restrictions on how to engage should have their asses over there on the front lines. Ok now go get em soldier and CYA...(Cover Your Ass)

PS And MickeyKnox will not be donating one of his testicles, because if he did it would make him half nuts.....And we don't want that...

Bingo and thanks for all the support. Yeah don't worry I trust my wife but i'm not stupid lol shit happens and i'm gonna make sure it doesn't happen on me haha

Well I will tell you I will probably never be engaged by threat what with my position but appreciate the support greatly. Completely agree with you on the ROE, BS. We are the only country that even really follows the Geneva convention crap.

[GirlyGymRat]

ArmyKid. I don't think some are able to comprehend the hardship of being away from family, loved ones, friends, home oh.......all the while being a target.

I thank you for your service and you keep yourself safe.
