This will be my last post for a few weeks. My flight has been pushed up and I will be leaving sooner than previously planned. On the flight deck I will be promoted to 1LT and Maria will be there to pin on my new rank. Sounds bittersweet, doesn't it?
I will not be posting on this blog for a while because we do not fly straight to Iraq. I will spend some time at a forward operating base (FOB) outside of Iraq. From there, we will train up, recieve our final equipment and supplies before departing for whatever city Uncle Sam has in store for us.
When we arrive at our Area of Operation (AO) in Iraq we will begin the RIP process with the unit we are replacing. This entails linked patrols and the sharing of all neccessary information to prepare us for our mission. After that, they will head back to the states and the battle space will be handed over to my unit.
I promise to keep a journal so that I can upload it to the blog as soon as I can. In the meantime, you can subscribe to the blog so you are e-mailed notifications when I update it. Thank you for all of your love and support. It means the world to me. God bless!

About Me
- Kyle
- I am an artillery officer in the United States Army on my first deployment to Iraq. I have a bachelors degree in psychobiology and am studying criminal justice for my masters. I have a wonderful girlfriend, puppy, and family back home who I miss dearly. My intention of this blog is to enlighten those back home as to what a deployment entails while remaining anonymous and preserving operational security
