This is my first blog.





I'm doing this because just maybe someday my daughter will read this and understand what i am going through. She's the greatest person in my life.


Well a couple of days ago i found out I will be deployed to Afghanistan. This will be my third deployment. The first deployment was Iraq OIF 3, in 2004-05 then Kosovo 2008-09,,yes its considered OEF, a combat zone to much disagreement to Kosovo veterans. I am hoping Afghanistan will be my last deployment.

My main concern in this deployment is my ability to take care of my soldiers. Anyone can lead in battle but to truly care for them, the details and motivate them every day is quite difficult. But i have 17 years experience I'm confident in my abilities to take care of them.

I hope my daughter realize she has a warrior bloodline. When she gets older I hope I can instill the same motivation to be strong, independent and smart.

October

Its been the beginning of this month of October and I can't wait to for my leave in November. I am really tired of the soldiers whinning about every thing around them. Its taking its toll on my head, my mental capacity is its breaking point, i m not who i am anymore. Days are slowing down. its all down hill from here until we leave this place. I don't mind the job its the people thats making it difficult. I miss being with an infantry group bunch of men,,female soldiers are nothing but whiners and complainers. They do a half ass job. I workout just vent out my issues with bunch of incompetent idiots. I m just so angry right now its affecting my mental well being. Just ranting. I'm in the MWR computer room because my computer crashed. Im getting a new one, it seems every deployment i get a new laptop computer.
