we finally got our deployment orders the end of last week.
heres the basics...

Effective Dec 15th, 2008
Theater: Operation Enduring Freedom OEF
Length: 365 days or until mission completed

We also know which FOB we will be at and weapon status there is Loaded magazines in weapons at all times, just no round in the chamber yet, And thats ON the fob. We will be in the highest danger area to date in the iraq/afghanistan theater.

If you make it through safely you'll get your OP ribbon & vet status!

Scary though that its not to far away, but as always best of luck Paul.

God bless Paul.

Good luck sir. Might have to come on the 29th to buy you a beer.

im in on the 29th! Good luck, i know we'll talk soon, but I wish you the best over there.

Stay safe....remember - dead prisoners tell no tales...better them than you.

Good luck.

good luck man be safe over there

Good luck...stay safe..and thank you for your service to our country...

I'll be seeing you before you go but good luck Paul!

Best of luck to you. I appreciate what you and all our military is doing.

for me, and only my opinion, i don't think "thanks for your service" really relays the proper sentiment - but that is only for me. you are going to be doing a job i wanted since september 11, 2001. so, not only thanks for your service to our country, but thanks for stepping up to do a job that i physically can't do.

let us know if you need anything once you get there and where to send it, etc. you might find out you need batteries or something that is not coming down thru channels.

of course stay safe - you said you'll be in one of the more dangerous places since the war began. so keep your head down and keep a lock on the enemy. oh, yeah, and GIT SOME!

if you have any kind of internet access while your over there PM your mailing address and ill get together a care package with my Legion post for you. All the things i enjoyed while i was there =). Keep your head down, im sure well have Jets watching over you guys when you need it. Thanks bro

good luck man, and thank you

good luck man, the world needs more people like you

I wish you the best of luck. Stay safe!!
