98Z5V Posted December 12, 2022 Report Share Posted December 12, 2022 It sucks being deployed during holidays. Sucks ass. December 1989 I was in Panama. Jan through Aug 2002 I was in the PI doing the GWOT-Hunt-ASG game, so all those holidays in there. T-Day 2003 I was in Afghanistan, 12-hr notice deployment on Nov 9th. Yes, Vets Day weekend, long weekend off for .mil folks. Longer weekend for SF folks. Nope, move out. Grab a plane. Officially notified to grab gear/guns and go at 1400, wheels up 2300 that night. We had a week-long hint that it was coming, so we were on the range, re-zeroing optics when the real word came down. Shut it down, men - get to the team room and gather your shiit. Now. 88/89 was Korea, late 91/92 was Korea, 94 was Korea, early 97/early 99 was Korea. More than 6 years in that country, total, counting the 4 tours and 10 TDYs. TDYs all over the planet all the time, training deployments, ,most time I ever had at one unit was back at Group 99/04, five years without a PCS. But all over the planet during that timeframe, combat deployments, training deployments, exercises. Ain't a damn thing about .mil life that's easy. 21.5 years. Moved 22 times, total, overall, from place-to-place-to-place... Move from this station to a school, move to another school, move to next duty station... Worth it all, in the end. Never be able to replicate or replace any of those memories, places, or friends. I try, through you fuqrs... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
