Iraq War – Operation Iraqi Freedom War 27 – Ft. McCoy, Wisconsin – 2003

OK, so this day was more of a sure thing.  We weren’t leaving on Tuesday, but rather Friday.  This was pretty cool news for me.  I couldn’t wait to tell everyone.  I was so sure about this.  I made sure that everyone knew we still didn’t have a mission, all we had was a flight, but it was still better than nothing.  There was still a possibility that it would get cancelled.  But after another 3 weeks since our last flight got cancelled, it was still better than nothing.  We continued to train as usual, but during the night we had a GI party.  So instead of getting off at 7 like we usually do, we got off at 10.  Didn’t give us a lot of time to pack and what not, but at least the barracks was clean as hell.
