Hey Folks out of here of an undetermined amount of time, hopefully only through Labor Day.
I was actived about two hours ago to begin building the Texas Task Force to respond to Hurricane Gustav if needed.
Hopefully the storm dies out and become a tropical depression. If it builds back up in the Gulf and hits Texas or Louisiana we will go. The problem with these storms is you never know how long they will last, where you will be and what you will find once you get there.
I lead an Infantry line company in New Orleans for Katrina and then in Texas for Rita and I felt, and most Soldiers I spoken to both Active Duty and Guard, felt that the Katrina mission was harder than Iraq or the 'Stan. Very auster living conditions.
For this mission I will the the Command Sergeant Major for the Task Force. While I hope and pray we are not needed, however I am very much looking forward to the mission and getting back in the box. Civilian life can be very boring.
The Task Force Commander that I will be working for was our S3 (Operation Officer) for Katrina and is very squared way. So I'm glad I've got a very good partner for this mission.
Keep the shiny side up.
Blackdeath 9, OUT!
