Getting ready to head out soon

Hey all,
Well the time has come and my pass ends tomorrow. I have my deployment ceremony tomorrow starting around 1400 in Fayetteville at the Crown Coliseum. After the ceremony we are headed to Ft. Bragg to finish up packing and its time to play the hurry up and wait game. But once we get the call on when we are leaving will head down to green ramp to load the plane bound for Kuwait. We will be there for a little while before we make our journey into Iraq and get settled into our Area of Operation. Where I will be for the next 9 months or so. I am very thankful that my family could make it down to see me off, I just wished that my other family could have made it down so see me off as well. I have had good time while they were down. We did alot of driving picking everyone up from Raleigh which is about a 2 hour drive one way from the house. Yuck!!! But we have made it through. Once I get settled in I will get my address out to everyone. Please dont hesitate to write. Any mail is good mail. I hope everyone is doing well, god bless and I love yall.
