After all the preparation and training, the time has come for us to roll out to "The Box". Many people have asked me how I feel about, I'm writing this on Monday with about 42 hours until we get on the plane. I don't really feel anything right now, I'm sure as time ticks closer and were issued our weapons and actually get ready to travel its gonna hit me. I can say that I am a bit nervous and a bit anxious but I'm confident and faithful in the Lord to see us through the next year.
We will have a long day ahead of us tomorrow, we have a formation at 6:00pm and that's when will be issued our weapons and have our passports & I.D. cards inspected. From there we are going to march over to the gym hang there for a while so families can say their goodbyes and all that good stuff. We will load buses and head down to Hickam Air-Force Base where we have a 5 hour window of when we can fly but we should be gone by 3:30am. We will go from Hawaii to Chicago to Germany and then into Afghanistan. I can only imagine how it will be when we touch down, I know there will some in-processing but I just have a feeling it will be a long day.
I just wanna thank all of you who read, for keeping up with my journey and keeping me in your prayers. I just ask you to continue. I will post my address in Afghanistan when I get it. The next blog you read will be from Afghanistan.
