I got a call from my BDE CDR this morning.  

BDE CDR - "Jeff, I'm transferring you to the 77th.  They need people for their deployment.  You go on orders January 3rd.  You don't have any big issues with that, do you?"

Me - "uh, derp, uh, no issues, sir"

"NO PROBLEM, SIR!!!  I can even leave earlier if you need me to!".

Good luck!

I thought Multicam was only for OEF, not OIF/OND.

Apparently, somebody was able to squirm out of it and shove you in it.

I'm truely humbled and thankful we have such dedicated people who are serving our country.  I can't imagine all the issues & details one must have to deal with in order to be able to pick up and deploy on such seemingly short notice.

Stay safe and thank you.

Godspeed.

Most of it is no big deal.  The hard part is going to be telling my son.  He was only 2 the last time I left.  He was 3 when I got back, but I did get to miss potty training.  He turns 6 in February and he gets mad when I leave for annual training or long drill weekends.  It won't be easy telling him that I'll be punching out for a year.

You're giving up a lot in order to do your part. I hope you come home to him.

Let your commander know that if he can re activate me (been out since '95), I'll be happy to go too.  I can be ready tomorrow!
