First Post

Hello everyone-

Most of those around me call me Mac. I'm an Ammunition Specialist in the U.S. Army. I'm headed out on my way to Iraq, and I've been doing a lot of things differently than I normally would. A few more drinks here and there, more time with the friends, more time doing this or that. I'm just trying to fit it all in before I leave.

So...I have a blog now too. I have read other blogs before, a few friends have some entertaining ones, and I think I can handle it. My older brother has a great one that I like to read, mostly because we live across the globe from each other. Anyway, starting a blog for myself to accompany this coming 2009/2010 deployment to Iraq.

I'm not really sure how much I'll actually put up here, but I think I will make it pretty extensive and informative. Hell, I might even throw some funny stuff in here even though I'm far from a funny guy. Everyone has probably heard about information leaks from service men in this recent war, so don't expect me to break OPSEC. OPSEC is short for Operation Security (I will always give you definitions of our abbreviations, nicknames, and acronyms). I intend to keep OPSEC while still having a blog, but for some retarded people that's just too much to ask. So don't expect or ask for any war stories, not even from missions past.

Well that's pretty much all for my opening statement. I'll be posting more closer to my departure from the states.

-Mac
