As you can see, I hardly ever post to this thing. I basically use it for reading other people's comments on shared interests (I love me some Heroes). Starting today, that's going to change. In around 3 weeks, I'll be on my way to Kuwait and then likely on to FOB Salerno, Afghanistan. I want to use this LJ as a tool to show you all what a soldier goes through on a deployment.
You may think you know, but what CNN and Fox shows you is usually garbage. The truth can, and often does, take a backseat in the pursuit of ratings.
So if you're interested in what it's really like to live in a hostile place (both politically and environmentally--it's the western edge of the Himalayas), stay tuned.
