I didn't mean it to sound too somber, but Fri. night is my last night as a civilian. I am on active duty now, which is why I haven't been around and posting much. Sat. morning I move into barracks on Ft. Lewis and go into lockdown. I may get some time for holiday breaks, but I don't know.
The good news is that I have been pain free for two weeks!!!!!! I am getting healthier by the day! You guys really helped me deal with the frustration of my latest episode, and I can't thank you all enough.
For those that don't know where I'm going, I will train here at Ft. Lewis in Washington in Urban Warfare until Feb. In Feb. my unit, Bravo company of the 161st Infantry Regiment, goes into Iraq. Probably Baghdad, definitely the Sunni Triangle. My battalion is to be a quick reaction force, ready to go after whackos that try to hurt our guys stationed over there. 
I have given this site's address to my Mom, and she will post my address, at Ft. Lewis and when we go in country. I will be thinking of the great welcome I got when I discovered this site, and the great people I've met. I look forward to sharing the stories with you all when I get back!
So, in closing, I will be around for a few more nights, and that gives time for a few last words.... 
I'd love to hear from ya!
Jason

Jason!
Been thinking of you lately. Glad to see you checking in. Now, remember, this whole adventure is going to be soooooo temporary you will wonder if it really happened. Sort of like my recent neck surgery...........well, maybe you won't be getting pain meds round the clock like I did. So, just forget that last part.
You KNOW that what you are doing is important and IT DOES COUNT! For the rest of your life you will know that you stepped up to make a difference. Not many achieve this distinguished distinction.
Go with God. Go with the knowledge that we support you. Go to make a difference. Go, but come home quickly. I salute and thank you, Sir.
Mike

Hi Jason, sweetie.........
Glad to hear that you have been pf. That's GREAT!!!
Sorry to hear that you are heading out, but know that your service to this great Country will not go unnoticed.

I would like to echo what others have said.
A huge Thank You from over the pond.
Whatever people's views here are about the rights and wrongs of the conflict, there won't be one of them who won't pray for you, wish you well and Godspeed home again to your friends and family.

Take care and please come back with all the original pieces.
Remember God put those eyes in the back of your head for a reason.
Remember your ass is bigger than your head. So just because you have head down, doesn't mean your ass is.
I ahem forgot that once.

Jason,
Great to hear that your cycle broke and you're feeling better before you head out. God only knows how bad that could be trying to do your job in those surroundings AND dealing with the ch's...argh!
You take care of yourself and know that there's a lot of us thinking of you.
Thank you for your service,

Jason,
Thank goodness you have fended off the beast!
This is quite a journey you'll be on. Keep that warrior spirit alert so that you can make it back in one glorious piece.
God bless you, I think you'll have more than a few angels on your shoulders looking out for you. What are they going to do with all that mail you'll be getting ?
Lots of love and luck to you!!
