Iraq War – Operation Iraqi Freedom War 26 – Ft. McCoy, Wisconsin – 2003

This was the big day for all of us.  We found out that we’re leaving next Tuesday, the 17th.  It was still only a matter of possibility, but overall false hope was better than no hope.  People would kill for information here.  We started letting people know that we’re leaving, but still others were skeptical and didn’t tell anyone about the possibility.  And I can’t blame them, it’s just about the millionth time they told us we’re leaving or something’s going to happen and it hasn’t.  We continued training as usual.  I don’t know how often I’m going to say this, but I want to leave already to get miserable.
