I got to participate in Operation Hero, which is a program put on by the USAF to let kids see what their Mommies and Daddies do when they deploy. It was a fun event and I learned a lot.
First rule of deployment, you stand in line, long lines... for a long time.
Then you get into more lines and they give you stuff.
Wait, no one mentioned shots!
I got lots of reading materials, will come in handy when I can read.
Wow... famous people come out to see us off...
Another line for the obstacle course...
They are checking to see if we are fit for deployment.
No, I did not get to fly it.
They taught us how to wait around and wonder what is next?
Then we got on a bus, a very crowded bus.
Then they made is get off really fast....
We got a class on fire safety.
Hands on training with weapons and...
practice with the RPG-7.
A little more hands on with a sniper rifle and
learning how not to hurt yourself getting out of a HMMWV.
I got to re-test on the last one.
Then I went to the Nurf qualification were I scored expert.
Then I was some what fitted for a ACH and body armor. Some one already got the extra, extra, extra, extra small.
They said do not worry I would grow into....
Then I came home to the chow hall and had a good dinner.
and the day ended with me safely in bed.
Thank you Mommy and Daddy for letting me deploy. It was a lot of fun and I learned a lot.
