I appreciate the words of advice, boys. I really do. One of my other concerns is whether or not my current unit would even release me to another unit since my name is "in the system" for the AAF stuff. Any thoughts on that? As well, I feel like I'm screwing over my alternate. Like Discus said, it's not helping America and it's not worth my life, but I can't help feeling as though I'm simply passing a turd down the line. If this was a normal deployment with the boys, I wouldn't think twice about going; hell, those are some good memories you make when you're hackin' the mish. But this one ain't normal and flying with guys who struggle with jumping jacks, well...
