As it turned out, his division, the First Cavalry, which officially received
depolyment orders was kept in Texas while the other division (4th Infantry)
from the same base, Fort Hood, waited to go through Turkey and then wound up
going instead to Kuwait and then into Iraq.  By the time the First Cavalry
was to send its gear to ports in Texas and load themselves on to planes,
organized combat was over. So the First Cavalry was stood down from those
deployment orders.  Thank you for your kind thoughts.
