Clarification
I've received some feedback from you all and I wanted to clarify a couple of things:
1. I did not volunteer for this mission. I volunteered for Operation Enduring Freedom in the Fall of 2001, but was not accepted. I joined my current unit in April of 2003 and we were mobilized in January of 2004. Though I did want to serve, going just two weeks after bringing our little boy home from China wasn't the best timing, from my perspective.
2. I'm not making a financial sacrifice. in fact I'm making more money now while I'm deployed - at least for the first year. That's because of the excellent benefits my company has. Yes, it still sucks to be here...
