Alright guys,I've been asked to travel back to Iraq and Afghanistan for 6 months.The decision to go is mine to make as this is voluntary.There are extenuating circumstances that make my decision very difficult and due to the nature of this situation I cannot post any info on those circumstances.Because of this situation I decided to post this thread for a couple of reasons:
1)To at least let everyone know I'd be leaving without just disappearing.
2)To thank you guys for being the best group of people I've ever met on a forum.
My decision must be and will be made on or by Oct.7.Should I decide to leave it will be on Nov.7.I can't thank you guys enough for everything and for the time I've spent here with you. _________________ “If you love life, don’t waste time, for time is what life is made up of.”

I'll tell you the same thing I told my other friends who've gone back overseas. "Keep you head down and come back alive and well." Ok?  _________________ I like old jokes. With them I know when to laugh. |

Good luck, Wolf. *bows* But if you do something stupid and get yourself killed, I'll either never speak to you again or you'll never hear the end of it. _________________ Silentium est aurum |

Well, do think long and hard on it, Wolf. Wish you the best of luck in either choice, of course.
I know you'll come back fine should you go, though. I've known a lot of people who've come back from Iraq and I'm sure you'll do the same thing. _________________ "Doktor! Are you sure this will work?!" "HAHA! I HAVE NO IDEA!" |

If you decide to go, Mr. DesertWolf, be careful, take care of yourself, do your best you can, help others over at Iraq and Afghanistan, and please come back safe and sound. :3
*extends her arm out and waits for Mr. DesertWolf to shake her hand.*
Best of luck to you, Sir.  |

I guess this is an opportune moment to say that I too will be leaving to the desert on or around Nov. 15. And where we are going there will be no way for me to communicate with anyone by any means for at least 6 months (***current projected timeline***) because we are going to be building a new base at the location (all that’s there right now is sand and rocks).
*Salutes DesertWolf*
I give you a lot of credit for doing something like this voluntarily.
*Shakes his hand*
Good luck and take care of yourself. _________________ Story

Wow so many people to reply to I don't know where to begin!Well first let me do this:*bows back to Ashton,shakes Lidia's hand,salutes ShadowFox and shakes ShadowFox's hand*.Okay now that I've done that I hope to reply to your messages here.
For those who've missed some earlier postings of mine I work as a "personal security specialist"(read:bodyguard) and for security reasons client names,places,and faces are withheld.This upcoming tour should I decide to go will be number 3 with the second one being the worst one(I won't go into details but Hollywood lied to you on getting shot).And finally as a SERE(Survival Evasion Resistance Escape) school graduate,I'll tell you that if you don't have a calm,rational mind you're gonna get hurt or die so all of my decisions are met with this in mind.
On a personal note you ShadowFox and other members of the military serving have my undying respect.The only people who don't get this are "birthers"(individuals in the military who refuse to follow orders handed out by President Obama because of his missing birth certificate and believe he's not legally the President.)And deserters because you hate the war(I hate it to but nobody forced you to sign the dotted line.) _________________ “If you love life, don’t waste time, for time is what life is made up of.”

Thank you DesertWolf.
I agree fully with your statement. Those individuals are just looking for an easy way out of their commitment. I may not agree with every aspect of the wars that we are currently involved in but I support my country and my comrades.
Sorry about the size of the pic it's abigger than I expected _________________ Story

Geared to bring fear ShadowFox! On a side note there's nothing badass about getting shot, it's a non pleasurable sensation that makes you cry like a bitch(remember this kids always hope for a through and through because the ones that stay in your body tend to hurt worse as they cool down in the blood.)And as for the school it's part of my job because I travel to different locations and you never know when you might be captured or left in a remote location.Also being a bodyguard sucks big.On average I work anywhere from 12-15 hours a day 18-20 on deployment in hostile territory,you don't get any hot girls(unless they're prostitutes working for the enemy),and you lose friends(and that spirals into problems I won't go into). _________________ “If you love life, don’t waste time, for time is what life is made up of.”

^w^ Thanks, Mr. DesertWolf. That is sooo sweet. Though I sometimes see you as a Teacher, I considered you and some of the male member here as big brothers. :3
