Once you get bak go to your S-1 and they will give you your clearing papers, this is basically a checklist of things you need to do to leave your current post, i.e. turn in yout TA-50, things like that.  Once you have done that you will get your final out brief then you will either take leave or go straight to Campbell, thats going to be your choice.  Good luck

when my uncle was over there up until 3 months ago, i use to send him all kinds of goodies. chocolate, peanuts, jerky, just about anything that doesn't go bad. i'd also send him hygiene stuff, soap, lotion, anti-bacterial stuff, also i know it sounds weird, but lots of q-tips. they use it not only for their ears, but cleaning their weapons. but most of all, letters from home and plenty of pics, and it wouldn't hurt to send disposable cameras either. once you gather everything, go to your local post-office, and let them know you are mailing it to a loved one in iraq, and they will supply a reasonable size box and help you ship it off. make sure his addy is written correctly. it took my uncle about 7 days to get his. good luck, and God Bless our Troops.....

if it's been longer than 5 years since you got out of the service just fax a copy of your dd2214 and a completed SF-180 to the VA in St. Louis. if you have any problems with this just ask me, i do this for soldiers in my battalion 5-6 times a week

they wont come hunt you down, but if you get a ticket they may haul you in.  if you dont do it now they will get you at tax time.  also if you apply for financial aid they will get you that way too.  dont worry the military is downsizing right now anyway.  If there is a full scale war they will take everyone they can.  We dont fight wars like that anymore so just register, you look like a dirtbag if you run.

Thanks for anwsering my question now I will anwser yours.\nI have been in the Army for 6 years now. What is your MOS? (job title) Im a 11B Infantryman. \n\nWhat to bring. Well when I went I was told to bring all kinds of crap and ended up not needing it. \n\nGet a nice new pair of running shoes try and brake them in before you go.\n1-2 towels/washcloths. Basic Hygene kit, razors, 1 can shaving cream, tooth brush/paste, None brakable mirror, fingernail clippers WITH NO FILE, and q-tips. \n\nDO NOT BRING knifes, files, pocketwatches. ect..... anything that you think they might take from you they probably will. NO sharp objects... you get the picture. \n\nUnless they changed it over the last 6 years you will get a debit card that has $300.00 (of your first pay check of course that can only be use at the PX store on base) So you will be able to buy more crap that you think you will need when you get there. \n\nAs far as if your in shape or not. If your not in shape now dont worry about it cause you will be by the time you are finnished. When I joined I was 210 .lbs I came out at 150! 4 years later gained it back lol beefcake! Anyways, here are some pointers. If you have a temper learn to keep your mouth shut. Learn quickly what your are tought. If a drill Sgt tells you to do something do it good and as fast as you can. If you fck up alot you will stick out more and they will make your life more of a living hell as they can. I have heard that Basic training has gone soft comparied to what I or thoughs before me went through, not as much yelling and crap. When you get deployed to Iraq or Afghanistan remember what you have been taught and if there is someone in your unit that has been there before get with them and ask as many questions as you can. Learn your job!  \n\nPlease email me and let me know what your MOS is and I will try and give you an idea of what you are in for alittle more. \n\nOh yeah and when you get in ask about the Rakkasans\nwe are the craziest unit there is. \n\nHave fun and good luck

I would keep trying to contact someone at Ft. Bragg until you get some information. He has to be on a data base there somewhere. Good luck.

If yes, what's your current address, phone number, and place employment?................  There's gotta be a law against military desertion. Otherwise, before any conflict there'd be a rush of servicemen leaving. Flipping a burger/pushing paper's different than being shot at.

most of the driving is done by locals in "jingle trucks" the rest the military covers. So either join the service or talk to the Kuwaitis people. There is also a company that does like everything maybe ask them there called KBR. I am not really sure about that whole civilian driving off base in a combat zone type thing. Most supplies come on planes or choppers anyhow.

Send a buddy you have in you're town to have a little "chat" with him and have him tell him when you come back, you'll be "visiting" him too. Maybe your wife can file a complaint somewhere, so they get rid of him, or she can go somewhere else then. that stuff pisses me off! I don't even know you, but Id go there for you at a drop of a hat! Take care over there, watch each others back and come home safe.

First learn to speak their language then book a flight to Kuwait.  From there you'll probably need to find a drive to take you into Iraq.  They may not be in the mood to chat though man!

my son is there now.......pack as light as possible, but;\n1.  Take bottles to carry plenty of water, you are at altitude and it is dry and you must stay hydrated.\n2.  Rain suit, not just poncho, violent thunderstorms are not uncommon.\n3.  Water filter, they will give you disinfectant tablets but you will still want to filter the water for "chunks".\n4.  Sunscreen, bug juice.\n5.  Layers - it can be 90 in the day and 30 at night.\n6.  Your troop should have plenty of guidelines available.  You also should have gotten the field manual.  READ IT AND FOLLOW IT.  This is not kid's stuff...you are in the outback for a week or more.
