This Changes A Lot

So, I'm not going to Afghanistan in 2011 or 2012. The commander says I'm not supposed to tell anyone, or talk to the press. The 27th BCT is going as scheduled, but the 2/101 RSTA Squadron is not going, instead an infantry battalion is being sourced from another state to go with our 2/108 and 1/69 battalions. There is talk of the National Guard reorganizing the 2/101 into an infantry battalion, and the fact that we aren't infantry is the reason we aren't going. I wanted to call people about this but there are so many. My mother, at least, will be happy, but I am not. There is a battalion of men (hundreds) from another state going to the most dangerous place in the world in my stead.
