Well, I should have know this would happen....
The other day, I was talking to my friend Kate and she kept saying I don't want you to go to Iraq. On New Year's Eve, my friend Emily told me that she thought it was selfish that I was going to Iraq. Obviously, she didn't get the memo that it's not a choice.....they tell you to go, they go.
More and more of my friends have been saying similar things to the ones that Kate and Emily told me. I was so mad the first time I heard them....but then I realized that maybe it wasn't their fault. I'm a soldier. I know that going to OIF or OEF is just part of my job, and I get used to it, so that when we get the announcement it's just like oh, well OK. Shame on me for not making sure that my buddies understood this too. Guess I didn't really talk to them about it. I just assumed they knew, and that's the worst thing ANY military person can do, assume a civilian understands us. Oops. Sorry guys.
Def. still excited about going however....it's coming fast....just a few short months away.
