Yes, life was getting way too easy in San Diego! Being in intelligence is a desk job here at home, so according to Scott, this (going to Iraq) makes the time go faster. They had "forgotten" that a unit was going in February and no one had been assigned to be embedded from intelligence, so that's why he volunteered.
I don't think he will volunteer again, though, since there is now a girlfriend in San Diego. Of course, she's a Marine, too, but thankfully getting out in a year and staying there to go to college. Scott is planning on buying a house when he gets back, so I guess that's where he'll be settling and finishing school in 2012.

I was there Friday to see my son and take his car home. He deployed on Eisenhower also. Is this your sons first deployment? The coming home is something to see. The night before they have a party for the families. This is my sons 2nd time out. I do have a phone number to keep track of the ship if you are interested. Its a recording the captain does. PM if you want it.

It's his 2nd deployment. I've been to friends and family day, but not the leaving or returning. His car is in long term NEX parking which I had to take care of. That's a story in itself. I listened to the captain's message the last time they were out. Are you going to be here when they return? Maybe we can meet at the party! We'll have to keep each other posted.

I have to pick him up when they return since he has no car,lol. I live about 6 hours away. I do want to see if I can find some trails or nice routes to ride down there and maybe go a day early and ride!
My son is an IT. Maybe our sons have met.
