THE COUNTDOWN HAS BEGUN

Lots of things running through my head at this point. It's getting closer and closer and I don't have a lot to say about it except that its gonna be a long year. I think he has all his ducks in a row as far as getting everything handled before he heads south.


Here's the agenda for the big day:

CO B 106TH BSB 
SEND-OFF CEREMONY

That will be the last time we see them for a while.  Not sure I'm really ready for this, but I don't really have a choice in the matter.  Will have to suck it up and carry on.

The Mississippi Patriot Guard Riders will escort the soldiers to Camp Shelby.

I've always liked how the Army does the send offs. We just get on a plane, or walk on the ship and we're off.
