Eyes and ears open, mouth shut and stay low! You will do fine!

That's what I learned when I was in the service!

Improvise, adapt and overcome!

Good luck Tet!

Stay strong!

LOL. It took a second look to realize that you had put in a War Machine silhouette in there. Didn't realize the Canadian military was so advanced. LOL

Seriously though, be careful and stay safe Tet.

There is saying in the military that you aren't really going anywhere until you are physically on the ground there.

Seems the Battle Group won't be needing as many reserve augmentees as originally planned for. As such I find out this week if I still have a chance to continue my pre-deployment training.

One of my closest friends asked me if I was disappointed or relieved. I guess you just can't appreciate this job unless you do it.
