  • I'm finally home!

    Well, it's been a few days, but I landed in Shreveport, LA around 7:30 in the pm, on Saturday. I was on the last flight that flew out of BWI because of the snow storm, but because of a 100+ mph headwind, the flight to Memphis took an extra hour, and we missed our sheduled flight to Sheveport by 45 minutes. Had to sit there for an extra five hours, but it was worth it. One of my friends that deployed with me had to stay in Baltimore overnight. Let's see- we left Qatar at 2:00 pm local time on the 21'st, and I didn't get home until 7:30 pm local time on the 22'nd. Man, do I ever hate planes. At least it's over now. I spent almost five months over there (142 days, including travel days), and I am so glad to be home. I guess I can change my signiture now...

        Thank you all. Our squadron is deploying in May, but I'm protected from it since I just got back from one. Other than that, the next rotation, that I can go on, isn't until the end of 2007. So, I have a little bit of time until I get to look forward to some more time over there

          So how's the atmosphere over there now that election is only days away. Is there going to be a good turn out from the Iraqis? Are the insurgents getting antsy?

          Any word from that captured American that's from my neighborhood?

            Sorry, but no information. Where I was, we still received hostile fire hazard pay, but we weren't ever in any real danger. I never once wore my gas mask, or had the air raid siren go off while we were there. I do, however, have quite a few pictures that were taken in Iraq, that one of my friends over there gave to me. If anybody wants to see pictures that couldn't be shown on tv, let me know, and I'll post a link to an online folder that I can upload them to. Trust me though, they're very disturbing, and more that likely NWS, for the graphic detail of terrorists after they met coalition forces. I was lucky as to not have to forward deploy into that, but some people that I know that did, came back changed
