Yes, the rumors are True... As you may have already heard... I am going to be deployed to Iraq... I thought that I would go ahead and clear up in JUNK that might be in the rumors. I am going to to tell you all that I know....ALL of it....and I will continue to keep you all updated as I get more information. On October 1st, 2007, I will be put on Active duty status. For about a week and a half (til about October 10th/11th), I will be doing paperwork down at my unit (NAS JRB) in Fort Worth. From there my Truck Platoon will be flown to the East or West coast (dont know which one yet), and we will remain there for about a month to a month and a half. At the end of November/beginning of December we will deployed to Iraq. We will remain there for about 7 months. (Bringing me back HERE in June-ish.) The ONLY other info I have is that we will be attached to a Grunt unit (AKA an Infantry unit): meaning that I will be hauling Grunts and there equipment around. I SAY AGAIN....This is ALL that I know....NOTHING more. Many people have asked me "How I feel" about it. All I can say to that is that God is BIGGER than this situation. All of my hope and trust is in Him. This is His will for my life, so I intend to obey it. I can't tell you all how Great He is in what He is going to provide, but I am TRUELY grateful. I plan to have a list of all of the Marines going typed up soon, so that I can pass it out for people (that are willing) to pray for them BY NAME. Please pray for My Family... Dad- Steve Mom- Barbi Brother(18)- Brendan (who will soon be goin to boot camp for USMC) Brother(14)- Dillon and My Friends...(ALOT of them....but these especially: they are taking it the hardest)... Bethany Northam Michelle Eaton Lisa Lawrence Jonathan Jordan Stephanie Davis (and MUCH MORE...) and Me... That I will make myself available for those around me.... and make myself available for God to use me... and that God will reveal Himself to Me... Equip Me... Live in Me... Use Me... Love Me... Strengthen Me... WISE Me... I can NOT even begin to describe the LOVE that God has given me for YOU ALL...Your prayers are much appreciated... Love in Him, Your Brother, Kyle Patrick Murphy
