Day 1: I'd dodged the draft. Neighbors received their papers last week. I was spared. But, today, there was a notice on my door.

Reason for HOA citation: "invasive weeds present in front yard". I'd discover that my deployment would be far longer than I ever imagined.

Day 2: Prior to deployment, I called my nearest enlistment office to inquire about the yard front.

I was told that supply drops would be provided, but that the act of de-weeding would be left in my "capable" hands.

This wouldn't be tough, I thought. I was so wrong.
