How many times have you deployed and what makes this deployment unique? I have been deployed twice. This deployment is unique because of the people I have met. That is one thing I enjoy about deploying is meeting new people and learning about where they came from, who they are and how different people truly are.

How does your job differ in a deployed environment vs. home base? Being in a deployed location hasn't really changed my job as far as a Security Forces member. I think it really depends on what your mission is and where you are deployed to. I wouldn't say my job here at here is exactly the same as it is at Lackland, but it is very close.
