Well, the hammer that I have been waiting on has fallen. I knew when I accepted the Iraq contract that the war in Iraq was slowly drawing to an end. The Army is pulling out unit by unit and with less soldiers comes less need for linguists. Less linguists mean less medical personnel to take care of them. I, then, am leaving the Iraq contract.
I'm not sure where I am going, whether it be back to Kuwait or home. I would like to stay working for my company, but I do not want to be an emergency paramedic in Kuwait; I want to work as a remote site medic. My future depends largely on what my company decides to do and how they decide handle the situation going forward.
I do know however, that my time in Iraq and Kuwait has not been wasted. I have met some amazing people, had some awesome experiences, and saw things that I had only read about before. I feel truly blessed to have been chosen to come on this journey. I look forward to whatever the future brings, and I will welcome it with open arms.
As I said in my very first post.....BRING IT ON!
