Made it home safely, and it's been a whirlwind. I've been in country for about 8 days and home for 4, and it seems I am waaaaayyy more popular than I remembered. The trip was a long one, but the end result was worht the wait.
LizM-we flew commercial back home.
hobbes-the lines were killer.
can anyone answer a question i have(strictly rhetorical here)-why can you take anything including the kitchen sink out of the US, but coming back, on a military flight you have to go through customs????? and the list of things you can and cannot take on a plane???? 4 packs of matches but not a lighter??????
That's it for my rant for now, just wanted to let you all know I made it home.
Thanks Chase.
Joe- I am back in the big B.
LizM-I know what you mean about the jump seats. Let you in a little secret, those little planes called sherpa's suck even worse. If you've never rode in one, count your blessings right now!!!!!
Thanks to everyone who held a good thought for myself and all the other Americans over there, regardless of your opinion of the war, we really do appreciate it and you.
