Well, my fellow Hogvillians, it's that time again.  I'll be deploying to Afghanistan again within the next several days and wanted to say goodbye to everyone.

I'm not posting this thread for any special personal recognition, so please don't feel obligated to respond.

I'm simply asking for you all to remember me in your thoughts and prayers as I go about my fourth deployment doing the dirty business of war.  Please, also remember that there are still several thousand of us in harm's way whether or not you see or hear about us on the nightly news.  Keep us all in your thoughts and prayers.

I'll be online several times and you'll probably see me on here when I get there, but I just wanted to say goodbye before I left...well...just in case.  Take care, my friends.
"Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats." ― H.L. Mencken

Hogville prediction formula:

1.  Insert bad news prediction. A loss, a recruit going elsewhere, a coach leaving, etc.
2.  Tag "hope I'm wrong," on the end.
3a.  Enjoy a correct prediction.
3b.  Act like you're relieved you're wrong and celebrate with everyone else.

I'm heading out in a few weeks myself, but not to Afghanistan this time.  Been there, done that. 

I'll be heading out to support operations on another hotspot continent. 

Good luck and keep your head down.

Stay Safe adn God Speed you back home to Ark.   Thanks for your service.
If the South should lose, it means that the history of the heroic struggle will be written by the enemy, that our youth will be trained by Northern school teachers, will be impressed by all of the influences of history and education to regard our gallant dead as traitors and our maimed veterans as fit subjects for derision.

I miss the smell of the mud, grass, and sweat of the practice field. I miss blood oozing down your arm from the rip in your skin that was slashed on a guys helmet as you punked him at the line of scrimmage and put his dobber in the dirt.

Nate I know you are not asking for anything, but it is my honor to thank you and your fellow service members for the sacrifice you make to support the freedom of all American's.   You will be in my thoughts and I will be looking forward to your check-ins.

Be safe.  Be prepared.  Be vigilant.   Remember your training.  With 3 prior deployments you know the drill, but don't let complacency creep in. 

We have your back here, so if you need anything for you, your squad, or any of the troops on base, please either PM me, or post up here so Hogville can get whatever it is you guys need to carry on in your mission, or just to be able to have a slice of home in Afghanistan.

Godspeed brother.  Iraq sucked back in 02' I know that, but I'd rather spend my vacation dollars in Baghdad over Kandahar any day.  Good luck to you.  Keep that trigger finger loose and ready.

Don't know you from Adam but good luck with your next tour and hopefully God will bring you home safe and sound to your loved ones. Thanks for doing a job that is so unappreciated by many across America.
