Michael Starts Mobilization

Well, Michael left yesterday evening to start the mobilization process. It was extremely difficult to say good-bye. It's hard still just to write about it now. I know it will get easier and it's always the hardest at first. Good-byes just suck no matter what. We just keep telling each other that we can't get the deployment done until we get it started, so let's get it started. Jaime invited me to Thunder over Louisville tonight but I'm going to stay home. I think she's afraid of me becoming a hermit during all of this. I won't. I have so much to catch up on around the house and I have to go into school to get my plans ready for next week. I also just want to rest and be by myself. Just this weekend.

So, the mobilization schedule looks like this: He'll be at Muscatatuck Training Center (about 30 miles south) until the end of May for pre-mobilization training. He'll get a pass for a few days and then leave to Ft. McCoy, WI for mobilization training. He'll be there until he flies out around the beginning of July. They will probably get a 3 or 4 day pass at the end of June and so I'll drive up there to visit him.
