This weekend, I had to drill. Friday morning I woke up at 3:15 am to get ready and left about 4:15. I arrived at the armory at 5:30 to prepare for a 4.5 drive to Clarks Hill training area (on Lake Thurmond near Augusta, GA).
My worst fear was realized this weekend. I would be tranferred to a unit in Laurens, SC. Laurens is about 2.5 hours away. My drive time to drill will double!! Another problem with the transfer is the unit is being activated to go to Afghanistan next July. Normally, a year's notice is given when a unit is being activated. This all happened this week.
My only saving grace for now is I still have to attend additional training before I am deployable. My training totals about five months. I am hoping to finish my schooling and catch up with the unit in Afghanistan, thus shortening my tour.
