Not been around much recently as you older members may have realised (who cares!! I hear you cry).
Thought I would make one of my infrequent appearances to tell those of you that still care whats happening.
As some of you may remember I hurt my ankle badly last year, which when couple with ongoing lower leg problems meant i got medically downgraded. I found out in December it was a little more serious than first thought, but fixable. Hence I am in the Gym 4 times a week for nearly 3 hours a time.
On the 22nd Jan I went for an appointment to extend my downgrading and to my complete surprise (plus a little bit of blagging on my part) I managed to get UPgraded...!
The result of all this is that next Sunday I deploy to Iraq for 4 months having been given 11 days notice (bastards!!)
It will probably go without saying but obviously tours like this to an area like this are pretty shit. One of the very few plus sides to it all is receiving mail. Therefore, I will drop back in later in the week and see if anyone here has expressed an interest in wanting to write to a lonely Airman serving in a shithole and if there is, I will post my address...
Thanks for taking the time to read this, and i hope you are all safe and well....
