More news from Indiana...
I am trying to keep yall as up to date as I can so as I find stuff out I will post it as soon as I can. Well guess what......I found something out. I met with the sergeant major from the unit I will be going with....221 Cav. I will be in the holding company I am in right now for about two more weeks, waiting for the rest of the unit to get here. After they get here we will start training for about two months. We are scheduled to deploy at the end of June and be "In country" by the beginning of July (Happy anniversary Hun). We should be coming back around April of next year. From what I have heard we will be pulling security for different PRT's. A PRT is a Provincial Reconstruction Team, I am not entirely sure what they do. Weather they assist the Afghan people in rebuilding or if they actually do the rebuilding. My best guess is that they assist the people in rebuilding. The teams are made of Army, Navy, Air Force and some civilians from various groups. After finding this out a bunch of us immediately asked about leave. From what the Sergeant Major said we will have a short break in the training cycle a week or so before we deploy somewhere between 4 and ten days. He seemed to think it would be more like four. That is all i know for the time being will post more as I find stuff out. And I will try and start taking more pictures so I can post them on here too.
