I cannot express the gratitude I feel from all the kind words.

This will not be a full deployment. I happen to hold some qualifications in the Army that very few people have. As such there are not many people to choose from for emergency replacements when the S*** heads south.

I will be back in a few months as I am only required to fill in till the next crew of operators switch out. Once I gets home from this I am being posted to a new location out of Edmonton and then I begin work up training for task force 1-09.(deployment # 4)

No rest for the wicked.
cool

At least I have lots of stories to tell my Grandkids some day.
Take care, friends
