Early 09

Hello all. Hope everyone had a good holiday season. Just a quick update on my ever changing military status. I officially transferred to the Minnesota National Guard in September of 08. No, we're not moving there; the unit I transferred to is going on a deployment in early 09 and I wanted to be a part of it. Why would I volunteer to go to war? There are a bunch of reasons I'm doing this ranging from career experience, to tax free money, to just something I want to do as a life experience. Basically I don't want to be one of those people who goes through life saying "I wish I did whatever when I had the chance."

Anyway while I'm gone, I hope to keep this blog going. I should have regular access to the internet, so stay tuned. I should start posting stuff from in country around early May.

Feel free to send email to both my military and gmail address.

Dan
