Hey all,

Seems like my unit is being deployed to Kuwait in late 2010, gonna be hell preparing for this and all the stress that is coming with it. Good thing it's only a 12month tour and one of the safer areas of the middle east. Hopefully Starcraft can help me relieve some of this stress even though it quite far away I'm already stressing out about it >.<. My heart races just thinking about it. I won't be able to do things I love or be with the one I love for a year.. even though I do get leave time but still.. AND ITS RIGHT WHEN SC2 COMES OUT! (if it doesn't get pushed back ofc.)

On another note starting my ladder slowly this weekend because of drilling this weekend only 3-0 and I have to go to bed soon, up at 6am. My High goal is to ofc get that 48th spot but my lower goal is just make it to top 75-100.
But at least its the last day of drill and i can mass game when i get home .

gL hF!

Can you feel the rush?

Why are you being sent to Kuwait? I thought there is a shortage of troops in Afghanistan?

That sucks dude, but why do you join the army if you don't want to be deployed somewhere? Isn't that what you should expect? I guess it still sucks and you just wanted to vent, but cheer up, I guess you'll appreciate the intricacies of life a little more afterwards.

And if you're not in the war-torn regions of the Middle East, it can't be thaaaat bad haha.

National Guard or Army reserve? Shit, I'd be nervous deploying with either of those groups too.

I don't think expecting has to do anything with wanting. Like, I don't think a cop is eager to find his next psycho with a gun.

And good luck to the OP.

It's just where my unit was picked to go.

Joined the military for the college benefits and much other benefit that they provide. It's not that I didn't want to be deployed, I had a choice not to go too, but i'm gonna need the extra cash in the future. and when i get back I'll start up a rocking new tournament .

But if a cop is going to get stressed out at the fact of possibly facing a psycho with a gun, maybe he shouldn't have become a cop in the first place...

Yeah, that's what I figured which is reasonable. I was pretty certain you were joining it for benefits or something otherwise you wouldn't have been stressed out to begin with, as opposed to all the other "macho" guys who wanna go over and kick some muslim ass! But yeah, don't worry dude, you'll be fine!

Well damn Jeremy... I didn't know you were active in the military, I thought you finished up. Well, stay safe and be ready to get wrecked in SC when you come back!!! GL have fun if you can.
Why would you ever choose failure, when success is an option.

It will be an experience you'll never forget man, be safe. Try to think of the positives, and do some researching yourself on Kuwait and the culture there if you havn't already. Try to think of it as a badass year long vacation! (lol)

And I wouldnt worry about missing SC2..

Cheers
