Zero hundred hours into the new decade Baghdad time, which is to say, at the commencement of the New Year in Iraq, Spc. Michael Lindsay may have become the Army's first 2010 reenlistment in Iraq.
A geospatial engineer and paratrooper with 1st Brigade, 82nd Airborne Division (Advise and Assist Brigade), Lindsay reenlisted under a full moon Jan. 1 at Camp Ramadi, Iraq, where his unit is deployed.
"Since we're eight hours earlier than East Coast time, he's likely to be the first, unless someone in Afghanistan beat him," said his supervisor, Master Sgt. Richard Walker, the noncommissioned officer in charge of brigade military intelligence.
Lindsay "re-enlisted 82nd," which means that he is guaranteed an initial posting with the 82nd Airborne Division.
