IowaEmt1991 Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 I jsut got my orders yesterday. Come the beginning of March 2011, I will be on my way to Afghanistan for 6 months. Ill be part of a Combat Support Unit acting as one of the Infantry medics. So once im done with training..I will have a whole month of being home with my family. That kinda sucks but it is what it is. PFC Kankelfitz US Army Combat Medic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
