Thanks to a roll of the dice, my cousin's not going to Iraq

My cousin is an Air Force pilot, flying mostly the larger cargo planes and such (as his vision's not sharp enough for the smaller fighter jets). I had no idea if he was going to be shipped off or not. I guess he's not, but because of luck more than anything else. The clipped letter from my aunt:

A lot of you have been asking about Mike lately. And I've been telling everyone that he is safe in Oklahoma. Well, he called today and said he was "almost deployed". Rick talked to him and he said 4 guys were called in and they all were going to be deployed, but when they got there, they found out only 2 were needed. They couldn't decide who should go. So they rolled dice. Mike is staying in Oklahoma! [...] We thought Mike was safe from being deployed until December, but maybe not.
