Waiting to Fly

Been sitting around in San Antonio for the past few days. A couple of the guys here flew home for what may be the last time before we actually deploy. We all agreed to rendezvous on Saturday at the airport so that we can fly out together and report at the same time. I'm going to go back on post later today (after I sleep a couple of hours) and take care of some last minute stuff (PX shopping, mailing extra uniforms to family/friends, etc). Luckily, we all got orders to Camp Shelby, Missouri. The general consensus is that we'll wait for our units to arrive, then we'll all be split up and sent all over the battalion. I guess it would be cool if we all got to deploy together, but such is military life. You get to meet and know some good people, only to part ways shortly after. Ah well, time to go to bed.
