Since this thread is posted in 'General Conspiracy Discussion' for some weird reason, I found strange what could be the conspiracy behind this
thread. So I went thru your profile, I think you are lying. The reason for that I donno' to gain stars/ points or attract attention. I just came
across your introductory post here-
www.abovetopsecret.com...
In it you specifically mention
Greetings everyone from Iraq
and
I have been stuck here for over 4 months now and am tired of working for this corrupt government, but that'll be a thread for another
day.
The important thing to note is you made the thread on posted on
11-9-2009 @ 13:06. So are you telling that in 2 months you came back to states
and you are being deployed again? That is mere 79 days.
So if we take it you were sent back to USA on 11-9-2009 (same day you made introductory post on ATS from Iraq), it will take 26 days port to port.
That leaves mere
53 days at homeland.
In 2008, the Army influenced USCENTCOM and USTRANSCOM to conduct redeployments as operational movements, reduce timelines, and establish firm
metrics. Brigade Combat Team (BCT) sealift timelines are now programmed to take less than 58 days for Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF) and 65 days for
Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF). The OEF timelines were reduced to a relatively low cost by increasing ship speed and reducing the time it takes to
return equipment from "port to fort".

also from the same above source
Current redeployment metrics allow BCTs approximately 9 months to conduct collective training between consecutive
deployments..
Sorry but it doesn't add up somehow.
Edit to add: If it's indeed true you are lying, then this thread should be labeled as HOAX and moved accordingly to the Hoax section. If you are
telling the truth I would like to know what US Military provision allows soldiers to be re-deployed in 53 days. Last I heard there was a mandatory 6
month gap between any redeployment. I could be wrong about the 6 month by 1 or 2 months, but the point is does US Military re-deploys soldiers within
53 days in your case?
