Well the time has come for the rest of my unit, the trail party, to leave Iraq. We will start our adventure back to the states and soon we will be back in the US after many moons of playing soldier in the hot Iraqi desert. Back to milk and rain and snow and cable television and the comfortable beds that we left so long ago to do our part in the war on terror. I have learned alot in the time that I've been here, done many things that I would not of had the chance to do otherwise. I wouldn't trade it for anything. This experience has changed me and I don't doubt that it has changed others as well. There is a saying on one of our buddies laptop that says "Permanent change is instantanious, realizing that you have changed is what takes time." Were we all changed when we exited the plane coming into Kuwait? Only to lie to ourselves that we are still the same person. Or does it truly take time to change, and the realization is instantanious? I don't know where I'm going with this, I'm just glad that after all this time spent here, finally we have our plane tickets back home. <See you again!>
But from what the talk is it should not be long now.
