Not in Afghanistan AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks to everybody for being concerned that I was back in Afghanistan. I am firmly situated stateside. To my knowledge there are no deployments in my near future. I am using this blog that I had previously created to digitally express some of my thoughts. My friend Dan, thanks for the concern.

What's in the news today. NCAA Basketball. Seriously, I like sports just as much as the next guy but when my local news stations are leading their broadcasts with the story about one of the local schools making the tournament I have to wonder is this the most important story of the day.

Made It on the flight by the skin of my teeth

Went to the brief this morning, and I made the roll call for the flight. We will be sequestered at noon today, go through customs then put in a sterile area until we fly, so no contact unfortunately. Hopefully I will see everyone on Saturday, as soon as I hit ATL I will start making calls. Can't wait.

In Kuwait

We just landed about 2 hours ago it's 0300 right now and I am pretty wiped out. Just enough time to find the computer center and grab a shower before my mext brief at 0700. There is a chance I might make the flight tonight leaving here 2200 local and would put me in Atlanta early morning on the 1st. Sure would be great to be home for the superbowl. I might not have a chance to let you know if I catch that flight or not so that is best case scenario. Things have gone pretty well so far except for the long days and no sleep. Can't wait to see you!

Kuwait

Just completed the first briefing of the day and managed to get manifested for a flight out tonight. I have a show time of 1630 for a 2200 flight. If all things go well I should be in Kuwait sometime tomorrow morning. Hopefully the weather will hold for the flight tonight but if anything changes I will let you know. Can't wait to get home!!!!!!!!

In Bagram!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah, finally made it out og Herat with some much needed luck and a hookup from one of the Air Force guys from the camp. In bagram and have to do 2 briefings tomorrow could possibly be out of here in 2 to 3 days, keep your fingers crossed. Keep saying your prayers everybody.

No Flights

I can tell already that this is going to be a long a painful process. No flights tomorrow have to wait until 2030 tomorrow to see if there will be any flights for the 28th. All this just to get out of Herat, I'm having bad luck already, can't even get started on the first leg of the trip. Hopefully I will get out of here in the next few days. I'm pretty exhausted, going to get some sleep, regular work day tomorrow then anxiously wait for 2030 to get flight info for Wednesday. Say your prayers everyone.
