Greywar is Leaving!

Couldn't resist the urge to poke fun at

     No I am not leaving JU. I am however leaving Texas to deploy to an undisclosed location in Iraq in two weeks time along with our LT. It will be nice to see Talisein and many of my deployed friends and fellow soldiers. Additionally I will have another chance to serve with SFC Calangelo! I am not sure how much JU access I will have over there (Tal seems to do ok) but I will try and keep in touch as much as I can. Now, packing up the house!

Thanks:) I am looking forward to the plane ride at least:) Well I am hoping to go at least some of the way on a "C" aircraft but I will probably get stuck with a military charter for most of the way

Well I have to say that sucks. For purely selfish reasons. I am much happier with the thought that the only thing you really have to fear is dodging armadillos. Take care, be safe. K needs you.

So, Grey is coming to the war. Be safe, buddy, and say hi to Vince for me. If you get into my neck of the woods, we should hang.

Since I am not particularly certain where I am going there is a fair chance for that

Take care of yourself. If you can figure out how to send an email, drop me a line with an address and a list of stuff at any time while you're there. First package of Korean language CDs is free! That goes for any other KP out there looking for language materials. I'm at the school house. Put your orders in.

Good luck

Good luck and Godspeed, grey.

Thanks

Appreciated but KIK OE's latest hits don't count as language study:) or even music!

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Funny, but I've since moved on from KIK OE. For you, I'll buy a copy of JE VU GH's newest CD, though...

Seriously, we've put all our texts on CD in PDF format with links to mp3 and avi files. Not quite cutting edge technology, but it's better than most of the other school houses. In fact, we recently reburned the 14 CDRs to 2 DVDRs.

Sounds interesting but I have taken my last DLPT in the Army (insha Allah) but then again I might be terrifically bored in Iraq as well.... I will keep it in mind

Man...this sucks.  How long are you going to be gone for?


I will miss you, y'know.  Make Pseudo step up to the plate in your absence, will ya?


 


Be safe, Greywar.  See you when you get back.

Now all the moonbats and whackaloons will try to run roughshod over your swarm!
BWAHAHAHAHAHA!

Whoa, you're coming??!! I'm totally shocked. But, I'll be totally happy to see you. We can play dress up and house! ^^

But seriously. Wow. Wow!

I don't know if Tal realizes that this means he has to share his XBox...

Now, I'm just frightened!

drop me a line with an address and a list of stuff at any time while you're there


I'm more than willing to send you stuff too--ask Dharma--I send good chocolate Of course, chocolate will probably melt before it gets to you, but I could keep you in constant supply of kool-aid...anyway, if you need anything, let me know [email protected]

Ma'a salama, Grey. ila l-liqa (sorry, my transliteration is horrible, but hopefully you can read that!)

Greywar,


I will be praying for you through it all. Even though I may heavily criticize our government from time to time, I'm proud as hell of those of you who go out to defend my freedom to do so!

I'll send stuff too!  And she does send good chocolate!

Will you please let us send you some care packages?  Nothing spendy, just Koolaide/gatorade, cookies, magazines, books etc....little comforts.

If you can get your mailing address to me I'll be more than happy to send you stuff.

I would greatly appreciate it and I am sure that the other soldiers in my unit there will appreciate it too. Of course I will share! They have already been there a long time! I am just coming in as a second stringer:)

Good!  I wanted to send stuff to Talisien, but it's kind of odd to get care packages from a total stranger.....this way I can send them to you and just ask you to distribute them as you see fit.

If you check out his blog, maybe two or three entries ago, you'll see that a chunk of the state of Pennsylvania just spontaneously sent him stuff. He's already used to getting stuff from strangers.
Sending stuff to share sounds like the best bet, though.

Can we (as in JU) adopt Greywar and his platoon?  I think that'd be great...each person could send stuff as they wanted to.
