Thought the title was touching. Woke up at around 3:30 this morning to catch an airplane to Atlanta Ga. Arrived in Atlanta, picked up my rental car and boogied my butt down to Benning. Checked in about 3:45 PM and headed off to get some breakfast. Now it's 6 PM and finishing up all my required reports and giving everyone here an update.

Always, Will like to put in my reservation for next Christmas dinner. Going to be even better than this year. Could not make this years due to spending some Quality time with my wife.
I'll be on face book and plus Sandy already sent my camera over so will have no choice but to send a picture or two.

Hey everyone,
ALl secured here in Kuwait.
Am all checked in here with the passport crap and ID & bag checks. Just finished a delicious sandwich from KFC....I call it Kuwait Fried Chicken. SO now playing the wait game. My passport is supposed to be cleared by 6 this eve so I'll be able to sign up on the Space A flights for BIAP...Bagdad International Airport. Then will probably be stuck there for a day. It's a wonderful 45 degrees here. Took my liner out of my jacket and tucked the rest away. Still funny watching everyone walkinbg around in full coats and beanies. Am typing to you from the MWR Internet cafe computer. My battery is dead on the laptop. So this is a 5 bucks well spent for the hour.
Everything here is 24 hours. The movie theatres (free) the gym and all else. They have what they call munchies alley, plus a Harley Davidson store right here on compound. Have my duffle bag in the secure room since I won't be using the room they gave me. ..Oh the room,,,, It's a GP medium with a cement floor and bunkbeds. I'll take the chair in the theatre anytime. So instead of lugging the duffel everywhere, I just secured it. I'll lug the backpack and computer anywhere.
Ok will stop for now, More to come when I get the chance to log on. As usuall, once I get my camera from in the mail, the shutterbugness will commence.

Counting down the time to check if my passport has returned. Would be a good thing. Since the next step would be to sign up for the space A flights.
THe Bizzars are out in force today. Anyone need any watches or perfume? LOL

Doubt if I'll get the chance but will keep it in mind on the plates. Took a C130 to Baghdad this morning and hopped on a UH-60 Black Hawk this evening to arrive at my final destination and place of work for the next year. Taji Iraq. Yes I do have a The Mustang Mafia T shirt to hang up in the room. Would have been nice to have that blanket though.

No one ever sent any money for them. We could have had them already if everyone would have sent in the money. Maybe they will but it don't look like they will.

From what I understand there was not enough takers. Myself and Sandy will always be one to add to the list for a blanket. All settled in at Taji. Now just acclimating myself to all the procedural paperwork and such. The installation is kind of a pain to find your way around but am sure I'll be an old pro by next December. Picked up a copy of Mustangs and Fast Fords to keep my reading skills in check. I do have the Jan 5.0, but will have to get a subscription if am to read another. PX does not carry the mag. Talk again soon.
