The (Second) Day of Reckoning

is drawing near. Deployment #2. Time to find out if repeated deployments really do take a toll on a perfectly average human being. Word on the streets is that with the Iraqi Security Forces taking some semblance of a lead, we won't be very busy. If that's the case, I'll be bouncing between the gym and internet cafe. That means the only result of a second deployment will be coming home jacked and tan, and plagued with carpal tunnel. And possibly a new haircut.

Today we all strolled into work around nine and played regularball (a hybrid soccer/football/ultimate frisbee type game) in the field behind our company. It was about 95° and sunny, but just as we started stretching out and choosing teams, the sprinkler system kicked on. So we played regularball on a sunny ninety degree morning in the pouring rain. It was wonderful.

Time to try packing up some of my belongings, wish me luck.

Oh, also, follow me on Twitter at @RegularGrunt for updates on my current level of sweatiness, bitterness, and eventually, the deployment.
