ArmyofOne Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 Thats right, just got orders today. My unit is going to southern Afghanistan sometime in July. Thats about all I can tell you because of Operational Security. Looks like its right around the corner guys. I can tell you that this one is not gonna be a picnic. War never is, but I am restricted this trip to taking only what I can carry, which means no amenities like a computer, internet or even plumbing and electricity. To put it bluntly, my Commanding Officer told us: Don't bother packing soap, there wont be any running water for showers. Use that space to pack extra socks and drawers, cause for the first 3 months, you're gonna need them. (P.S.-of course I will pack some soap , just in case, but from the sounds of things I wont be using it for quite some time). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if you do happen to stumble across the SOB that caused all of this, put an extra cap in his candy-a$$ for the boys and girls who love ya' here on LOC!
