[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by Favrefan04 I am in the Iowa National Guard. My unit was activated March 2003 for Operation Iraqi Freedom. There were some changes and instead my unit was split into 3 groups, 1 went to Afghanistan, 1 went to California and did Maintenance work there, and 1 went to Washington state and did Maintenance work there. I was in the group that went to Afghanistan. I was there for 9 months (we were originally scheduled for 6 months) and was lucky enough to be in the last rotation that wasn't going to be there for 12-18 months. My interest in trains was rekindled while I was there. As a civilian I am a full time guardsman the works on Iowa's equipment. In both functions I am an Electronics Technician. I am proud of my service and would not change any of it. Well maybe except for my rank ( want more money for Trains) [/quote] I know what you mean I was in Bosnia for 10 1/2 months we were only supposed to be there for 6! I was lucky to get home then, only because I ETSed!
