Don't forget to stop and smell the roses. Respect the country and it's citizens. Try to learn some of the language. Keep your head on a swivel and remember your situational awareness. Concentrate on the task at hand and get back safe. Good luck to you.

Sit down with your family. Make sure they know how to reach you; where important papers are located; that you have a will and it is up to date. DO NOT MISS the briefing that you will get before deploying and if you have a family member who can attend, take them as well.

Where are you going? Deployment experiences very drastically.
General advice:
Lower your expectations
Be prepared to hurry up and wait
figure out exactly what you "need" to get by and keep that on you when traveling
"Semper Gumby" stay flexible because things will change

In the beginning they told us we are going to Southeast Asia. I do know we are going to Kuwait. They have not gave us any more information currently.
