I'm currently in the middle of a deployment to the middle east. Here is a synopsis of my experiences.

26 Feb 08 - Departure
I left my lovely wife Nikki today to go to mobilization training for my upcoming trip to the middle east.
This morning there was a farewell ceremony at an air base. I dare say the ceremony was too long, a little disorganized, and drawn out. However, the fact that Nikki was able to see me off made it worth it. The governor and some other distinguished visitors saw us off.
We flew to an air base then bussed down to our training site. We spent the rest of the day unpacking, chatting, sitting around, and sleeping. Not too eventful. I did see this humorous set of signs on the wall, though.
I already miss Nikki. I guess its the realization that I won't be able to see her for a couple of months. I've spent over a month away from her already, but I guess the distance amplifies the sensation.
