Today I started the long journey home for a little R&R. I arrived at the transport terminal in Iraq at 6:30am. See that time stamp on the blog? Yup.. still waiting. Rumor has it a flight will be leaving here around 7:45pm. But not to the States. No. I’ll be taken to Kuwait first…. then Germany… then Georgia… then Texas…then Chicago. I’m crossing my fingers that I’ll be back by Saturday the 25th. But so far it’s not looking good.

Why, you ask, does it takes sooo damn long to get home? I’ve long since abondoned questioning the logic of the United States Army.

Either way, I’ll be back sooner than later.

And you know what’s really pissing me off right now? I already miss everyone back at the unit. I’m hoping that once I’m gullet deep in my first cold beer, those sentimental feelings will melt away.

Cheers!
