Well, we just got word today that we are being sent back into Iraq. This is in accordance with the DoD’s new 365-days-in-theater policy for National Guard troops. We thought that we might be spared from extension, but it turns out that wasn’t the case.

We have not been given a definite timeframe for how long we’ll be here, but since we got here in early February it stands to follow that we will be home by then. We are being told that we will begin the process of returning home in the late December - early January timeframe.

We do not know exactly where we will be going. It will probably be somewhere just south of Baghdad. We will not be leaving Kuwait until early to mid November, so I will still be in touch up until then.

That’s really all the information I have right now. I’ll let everyone know if I find out anything else that I can pass on.
