Some of you may have heard that Minnesota National Guard is gearing up for deployment.......yes that would be Spencer. Michelle was telling me yesterday that Dakota has her spring dance recital May 7, Zachary has his First Communion on May 8, and Spencer will be leaving a few days after that. Yes, on the news they are saying May 22, but Spencer will have to report a few days earlier due to the job he does.
Something that I did not really realize is that Spencer will be have a one year deployment, but that does not count the time spent in Camp Ripley before he leaves. Camp Ripley training will be anywhere between 45 to 60 days, then they will ship out. So knowing that, you will know that Spencer will not be gone for a year, but like a year and 3 months. But we know what a year in the military means.......it could be longer.......like a year and a half.
When more info becomes available, we will post it.

Spencer will be reporting sometime between May 9-11 for Annual Training. AT usually is at Camp Ripley, this year they are heading for Fort McCoy for their training. Last we heard, they will go right from AT into mobilzation training. Their deployment training is done at Fort McCoy.
