I got my notice that my National Guard unit will be deploying to Kabul Afghanistan in febuary for a year. Between now and then we get a good amount of extra training and work prepping for deploymen. It couldn't of come at a better time I have been out of work since March. I am pretty excited it will be a year of steady UNTAXED paychecks. The downside I will get back and not welded for 2 years lol.
A friend of Mine is presently in Afganastan, I don't know where. He is a civilian helicopter mechanic. He is living in a tent in the desert, AND HE LIKES IT!!!
