Greywar is Leaving!

Couldn't resist the urge to poke fun at

Published on December 20, 2004 By greywar In Current Events

No I am not leaving JU. I am however leaving Texas to deploy to an undisclosed location in Iraq in two weeks time along with our LT. It will be nice to see Talisein and many of my deployed friends and fellow soldiers. Additionally I will have another chance to serve with SFC Calangelo! I am not sure how much JU access I will have over there (Tal seems to do ok) but I will try and keep in touch as much as I can. Now, packing up the house!

I don't know if Tal realizes that this means he has to share his XBox...

We can play dress up and house! ^^

Now, I'm just frightened!

drop me a line with an address and a list of stuff at any time while you're there

I'm more than willing to send you stuff too--ask Dharma--I send good chocolate

Of course, chocolate will probably melt before it gets to you, but I could keep you in constant supply of kool-aid...anyway, if you need anything, let me know shadesofgrey7@yahoo.co.uk

Ma'a salama, Grey. ila l-liqa (sorry, my transliteration is horrible, but hopefully you can read that!)

Greywar,

I will be praying for you through it all. Even though I may heavily criticize our government from time to time, I'm proud as hell of those of you who go out to defend my freedom to do so!

I'll send stuff too! And she does send good chocolate!

Will you please let us send you some care packages? Nothing spendy, just Koolaide/gatorade, cookies, magazines, books etc....little comforts.

If you can get your mailing address to me I'll be more than happy to send you stuff.

I would greatly appreciate it and I am sure that the other soldiers in my unit there will appreciate it too. Of course I will share! They have already been there a long time! I am just coming in as a second stringer:)

Good! I wanted to send stuff to Talisien, but it's kind of odd to get care packages from a total stranger.....this way I can send them to you and just ask you to distribute them as you see fit.

If you check out his blog, maybe two or three entries ago, you'll see that a chunk of the state of Pennsylvania just spontaneously sent him stuff. He's already used to getting stuff from strangers.
Sending stuff to share sounds like the best bet, though.

Can we (as in JU) adopt Greywar and his platoon? I think that'd be great...each person could send stuff as they wanted to.

Greywar,

Best of luck to you...you'll be in our thoughts and prayers.

dharma...sounds like a good idea

You should expand it to "deployed portion of his company," some of us are still back here and don't need things as badly as those forward. Also, there are some electronics guys (read: toaster repairmen) that fix the stuff that we break (read: toaster operators) that aren't in our platoon, but are in our company. They'd probably appreciate some lovin', too.

It would probably be best if it were people that correspond regularly with greywar, though. If he wants me to, I guess I could pseudocoordinate it back here.
