I got my 0200 MOS* back again. Some pencil head at Drake assigned me to Camp Gifu with a platoon leader MOS. That of course was the MOS I was assigned here on, but I guess that they need 0200’s over here so I got it back again. Tomorrow at 0700 I will catch a bus out of here for my unit. We are about 15 or so miles from the front lines here so it should be all day tomorrow getting to my unit. I still don’t know just what my job will be yet, but I should know pretty soon. As far as I can tell all I will be worried about here will be keeping warm and well fed. The war seems to be more or less incidental. Although we were told that some guerrillas had set up machine guns and strafed the train that we came in on about 12 days before. I guess they do play games every now and then. The latest rumor running around here now is that we will be rotated at the completion of 19 months duty. That would bean 5 or 6 more months over here for me. I hope so. I always believe rumors like that. However that rumor seems to have a pretty good factual basis. There is a directive to that effect out, but whether or not you are released depends on your *MOS 0200 was the Military Occupation Specialty (MOS) number for a Communications Officer. |
