Ok folks... Im back for now. We just got processed for deployment. I got all my shots... Anthrax, yellow fever, ect. But then, they pulled us into a room, one by one, and asked for volunteers to go. Of course, I said HELL NO!! that dont mean that Im not going, just the ones that said yes get pulled first. so far, 5 out of our 30 person unit is going. SO FAR. Anyway, good to be back after 2 weeks, and would like to thank everyone for their support and prayers. IT WORKED!!!
Well its official... For those of you who dont know me, Im a nursing student, and a soldier in the army national guard. I just got ordered today to active duty. I leave on Tues. It sucks because Im so close to being done, and will have to quit school. Meaning, This whole semester wasted, start over another time. Sucks again, because I have two little ones (2yrs old and 4 yrs old) and an active duty army husband, whos not going anywhere, but works 16 hr days. (p.s. its 11:41... hubby still not home from work.)
Guess Im just frustrated and scared. Not for what Ill be doing, (im a nurse in the guard), but for my kiddos. Will miss them much. They are too little to understand that Im coming back eventually, dont want them to think I deserted them, and my 4 yr old sees all the war stuff on tv.
Anyway.. I will return and check in with everyone... Probley change my name to "nurse-n-boots" lol.... Wish me luck!!!!
