Post details: Redeployment
Redeployment
October 29th, 2007 (90 views )
Redeployment is the word that most troops here repeat over and over to themselves. "Just let me make it to redeployment!"
A few weeks ago, the J4 section farewelled our leader, COL Arcocha. He had been here for sixteen months and finally, his replacement arrived.
Celebrating COL Arcocha's return to the US...
The section certainly misses him. He was honest, fair, and knew the logistics here better than anyone. Most importantly, he championed his staff, and consistently defended their projects and results. I have not met a better officer in all of my life.

And even I have a redeployment date, scheduled in early January. I am certainly looking forward to my return to St. Paul's! As always, thank you for your support, and I'll see you in just over two months!
Yours,
Paul

I am glad you have had such an outstanding officer to serve under during your deployment. I know he will be missed, but I am sure he will miss his very special team in Iraq. There are special bonds that form from such an experience that stay with us for our entire lives. Perhaps you two will see each other again once you are both stateside!! In the meantime, we are eager to see you both in January. Stay safe.
Lots of love,
Mom
