Henry's Web Log

We're official graduates of the class of ... IRRegulators. So named because it's got "IRR" in the name, and Regulators were an old western gang of misfits. Stephen King wrote a book using them. So it works for us.

We fly out on Wednesday (the 17th) in the afternoon. I'll deactivate my iPhone on Tuesday, and hopefully will be able to leave a "don't call me until November 2009" message.

I have posted our unit's mailing address in the top left corner of the blog site. If there's any update (like I get transfered to another unit, or stationed at a different operating base), I'll keep the most accurate mailing address right there.

We're looking at about 32 hours of travel, going the Atlantic route, if you can believe it! Our first hop is to Delaware, then Germany, and finally Kuwait. 10 days or so of training in Kuwait, and we should be in Tallil, Iraq around Christmas. Ho, Ho, Ho!

Where's Tallil? It's not quite halfway between Kuwait and Bahgdad, between the Biblical "Ur" and "An Nasiriyah".
