Deployment to the Iraq War Theater of Operations

I have been serving in the Iraq war theater of operations for nearly two years now. During that time I have received hundreds of e-mails from folks all around the world wondering what it was like and expressing their concern and well wishes. I also received many questions from service members on what to expect during a deployment. It became clear to me from the questions asked by other service members that they are unaware of what to expect during their deployment.

For those of you that have visited my Blog in the past and enjoyed the many photos I hope you continue to check in from time to time. However, my focus for the duration of my deployment will be to share with others tips and suggestions to make their time less stressful not only for them but their family members on the home front.

I will be making future postings of things I wish someone had told me prior to being deployed. So feel free to check back often.
