What a difference an hour makes

So I show up at the range this morning, for my M16 training, right? Well, half an hour later I am back at my duty section, wrenching. Come to find out, since I wasn't tasked to deploy any time in the near future, I'm not supposed to be in M16 training. Well, what a difference an hour makes. An hour later, I am short notice tasked to go to Balad AB, Iraq. As in I have to be IN THE COUNTRY on 24 May. Now you know why they are called SHORT NOTICE. Yippee. So now I have to run around like a lunatic and try to outprocess in 17 short days. Jump into my nightmare, the water is warm....
