My friend Jason called me today and said that his brigade the 256th have been put on alert for a return to Iraq for another tour of duty. He's not sure yet when they will get mobilized but said he's preparing himself as if its tomorrow. He said they've been made to a light infantry unit so they wont have all the tanks they had last time. He said becuase of Katrina this change was made because of rescues and patrols here. So they will be in trucks now when they return. I've been feeling really strange, a bad strange since talking to him.
