Well, i just got notified yesterday that i will be leaving this beautiful country once again! This time for 6 months to Azzcrackistan... I will be gone about 7 months this time, but this will be totally different than anything i have ever done, at least thats what i am expecting. Just seems like the last 3 years i cant stay home. Oh well. Simon like we talked about, if i get back in time, Mariners game, and then most definitely a Seahawks game. So pic a game out in Oct/Nov!

Have fun Ken. Sounds like a barrel-o-monkeys.

Hey, I'm serious here, if you guys are doing tickets to m's & hawks games I want in! Just let me know how much and when, then I'll send the money.

By the way (sorry I didn't post this first) Ken, stay safe and come home.

Ken,

It sucks that you are getting deployed again, but we all appreciate your contribution to keeping our great country free and safe. We will all be hoping and praying that you too will remain safe and return on schedule.

Yes, your return will definitely call for a celebration, more specifically an Ms and/or Seahawks game.

Be safe, and we'll all communicate with you online.

Ken:

Be safe and thank you for your service to our country.. My nephew Josh Scrafford (U of I)is there (Altimur) on a 16 month deployment. He's my little brother's, Doug KHS 74, son. Our prayers go out to all of you..

Just want to echo these comments and Simon's as well. Good luck Ken! When is the actual day you are leaving?

Thanks everyone! I will be back safe and in one piece. I actually leave out Tuesday, but will be spending a month in New Jersey for training. Not looking forward to this one, but it should go by fast

Well all, we finally finished training here in NJ. Will be leaving here on Sunday and then headed off on Monday night for Afghanistan with a stop off in Kyrgyzstan. Should be there a couple days and then head further down range. Training was interesting but yet disappointing, but should help us out alot. Thanks for everyones support, it really does mean alot. look forward to hearing from u all, and i will try and keep u all updated on the goings on

Being an older vet, the posts here on this page warms my heart. My thanks for services rendered to Ken. Unlike an earlier time, this conflict is showing a mature attitude from the general public. The point I want to make is, Ken has a real support group in place and that is a must to any deployed service man/woman. So I say to all of you who support Ken to follow through with the games, etc. and show your support always. So many people don't realize how important this is to returning service people. Once again my thanks to Ken.

Thanks Rich, very well said. And thanks to everyone else for their well wishes. I leave today and will be in country in a few days, but have a stop off elsewhere to get more gear. I will keep everyone posted as much as i can. for those of u on Facebook, Simon will know whats going on. Im sure he will help with the information flow.
