Yah. My hubby kena picked because Army resources are stretched
thin. So basically he's going over there to do what he's doing
here. They told us, we'll get monetary rewards but keep the bloody
money. I just want him here and not anywhere near that bloody
sandbox! 
Hubby kena picked by default because everyone else in his dept who
is eligible, are transferring within the next few months. Since
Hubby has the most time left, he got picked. GRRRRR. Every month or
so, his command is asked to supply 1 or two people to go to either
Iraq, Jibouti, Qatar, etc. If he doesn't go now, it's only a matter
of time before he gets picked.
