We're supposed to deploy again soon and one of the guys I work with thinks it's funny that I don't want to deploy, not because I'd be getting shot at or could get killed, but because I want to race.

Brian, Those multiple deployments really suck. I was a medic with the 173Rd Airborne Brigade in Vietnam. I was deployed once and went back for a second tour because of all the hostility we faced coming home. I think that these multiple deployments are going to come back and bite us in the a$$. Our local National Guard unit will be going on its fifth deployment. Two years ago we had 1200 men deployed just from Midcoast Maine. There are not a hell of a lot of people up here so everybody was affected. Keep your head down and your powder dry. Be safe, brother. Semper Fi.
