Well, as most of you know by now, I'm toiling away here in Oklahoma...beautiful Lawton/Ft. Sill at that....now.
Well, the big news just came down yesterday. I've been waiting since mid-December to find out where I'll be going after this (some time this summer). The final announcement is here and I will be going to (drum roll please)
Yes, I'll be heading to the other side of the world, where I will be staying (sans family) for at least one year and maybe two, guarding our Allies from the Evil Horde (I don't know if they qualify as a horde, but the Pres. did label N. Korea officially as evil). This won't be for a few months yet, but wish me luck and have happy thoughts for me starting this summer (until then you can think the usual nasty things about me). For those of you who do so, I would certainly appreciate a prayer or two every couple months. Thanks.
Just wanted to let y'all know.
In your service,
Steve Melton CPT, FA

Hey Biggie! Jason did a year in Korea a while ago and said that the time actually went by pretty fast. Oh, and if you plan on coming home for mid-tour try to shop around and buy your ticket in advance, it is a whole lot cheaper!!
