Back to UK!

Turns out we are getting more leave right before we go to Iraq, which is good. We have a 2 week exercise in Bavaria and then back home for a week or so. Then it's straight off to Iraq on the 14th May.

Good to have a bit more leave, but it's awkward as I've already said my goodbyes to everyone back home as I thought I wouldn't be back. Now I am going to be back and have to say bye and shit again.

Back in Germany

So that's me back in Germany now, after 2 weeks at home for Easter. That's the last time I'll be home before I go to Iraq now. It's pretty shitty saying goodbye to everyone knowing it'll be many months and many thousands of miles before you see them again. They keep thinking I'm going to die or something. I reassure them it's not that bad, but it doesn't help. I better not fucking die now! Not because I'll be dead, but because I'll be wrong, and I am NEVER wrong. Seriously, I am never wrong.
