Extended.....

We just found out to day that we are going to get extended on our deployment by 28 days or so. The troops weren't to surprised by this move, as we were warned about the possibility. But it's kind of a disappointment as we are SOOOO looking forward to going home.

But when you think about the hardships our sister Battalion, NMCB-133 is going through right now, its not a big deal. They have 80 members who do not have homes right now, and they are aiding in the storm clean up in Gulfport. So they haven't had the time they need to prepare for their mission here and other places. If they came right away they would not have a successful deployment.

This is me and my family's contribution to the hurricane relief effort. It is the least we can do for our brothers and sister in Gulfport.
