AJ just told me that Chris was interviewed by a reporter from their local paper yesterday. Chris is one of the National Guards deployed for active duty. They're headed to to Fort Sill in Oklahoma for training. I asked AJ to give me a cutout of that article. It's available online though, but before I was able to access the site, I need to create an account. It took me a while before I see the article.
Here's an excerpt from The Bakersfield Californianpaper:
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Loved ones behind, uncertainty ahead
18 Bakersfield-based soldiers say farewells, respond to call of duty
By MISTY WILLIAMS, Californian staff writer
For some, like Spc. Christian Palisoc, 20, it will be their first time overseas.
"I'm pretty excited," said the former South High student, who made sure to pack his MP3 player. "It's an opportunity of a lifetime."
Enrolled at Bakersfield College, Palisoc hopes to take some classes online.

I'll surely miss Chris. He's my closest cousin. Good thing I was able to contact him before he left Bakersfield. I always pray for his safety. Take care cuz!
