The long anticipated move has finally arrived. Some of you knew this was coming and some of you knew something was up but were unsure what it was all about. Why all the secrecy? I didn't want to jinx it.

I was originally in western Bosnia in 2001 with the Canadian Forces in the Canadian area of responsibility. I have decided to go back as a civilian only this time it will be under a contract with NATO's EUFOR HQ in Sarajevo. I will not go in to details about the job itself other than it falls under my area of expertise.

The big difference this time is that we (yes, Mrs. BossDog is coming too) will be living there permanently and living on the economy as opposed to being restricted to a camp.

I received my letter of offer this morning and I am supposed to leave no later than the end of next week. This means I have to get my affairs in order here in Pittsburgh then get my ass to Ottawa and finish attend to other logistical items prior to my departure. It's going to be a busy week.

Needless to say, you won't be seeing much of me after next week. I'll do what I can to drop in and make a few posts. I have set up a little webpage \ blog about this whole ordeal. Feel free to pop in and read what's going on. Just click on the WWW button in my profile.

Best wishes to all of you!

Thanks man! I just got another call this morning. They've given me a better position in Mostar and a pay raise. Wow. I just got the job a few hours ago and I already got a raise. This is going to seriously kick ass!

No shit. When I came home from my last tour it felt odd to walk on grass. Pop bottles tied to sticks brought on a whole new meaning!

That's a huge change in life. Working on a short time frame must be a nightmare.
Good luck to you and the Mrs. and I hope you're able to come back and spend time with us when things settle down.

Have a good one. Stay in touch and maybe post some pics if you think of it. Don't drink too much rakia.

If you do have to go off the hardstand, don't look up! PDT_Armataz_01_14
