Wow, it’s HOT!!
After a very long day, I am finally in Kuwait! Flew on a MilAir Flight on Delta out of Indy to Hahn, Germany for refueling! It was great to stop there b/c I was able to touch base with a few friends prior to reboarding.
Then, back on the bird — yes, in the extended leg room in row 5, but not like the way Uncle Craig and Michelle hook me up every summer — no business class, just extended leg room. The perk of being a DoD Civilian and not a contractor, being called first to board the plane — with open seating!
Made it to Kuwait and learned the meaning once again of hurry up and wait, and wait, and wait, and wait! After a very disorganized way to distribute tent assignments, I was finally in my 16 man tent and secured a bottom bunk! The lights are kept on all night to keep the critters away…oh boy, so I hung up my towels and my shirts, and my…just kidding, but not about the towel as the light seemed to shine right on my bunk! Hmmm…
We have a brief at 8:30 this evening and we’ll find out when we get on our next military transport to Kabul! My 365 days has begun and I am thrilled to be here! j
Stay cool all — it’s 122 today!!! HOT HOT HOT………
Good thing you love heat….We miss you!
It’s a cool 60-something in Seattle this morning! Let me know when you have an address over there.
Here in Texas it is 102 degrees! Stay hydrated! Glad you made it to Kuwait! As you said: the waiting is the killer – hopefully, you”ll get out soon. Safe travels! Love seeing your posts! Laters!
Very excited to read as your adventures begin! Be safe and keep us posted
