Greetings to all. I have landed in Central Asia, and while not yet at my final destination I am very very close. I have every expectation of getting there soon.
I was pleasantly surprised by the weather. It was hot today, but not the ennervating 29 Palms-like heat I thought it would be. And then, even before the sun went down, it got nice and cool.
Needless to say I’m pretty excited about the whole thing. More to follow.
Almost Forgot… We rode in on a C-17. Today’s strange fact is that it was my SECOND C-17 ride, but only my FIRST C-17 landing.
Update… Am sitting in the Pat Tillman Memorial USO at Bagram, waiting for further transport. This is a nice place, you can tell that a lot of thought and work went into it. The USO is a great organization, and well worthy of whatever change you can spare.
Sir,
Does that mean you’re first flight ended in a crash? Or did you do the flying wallenda thing like in the movie Air Force One?
Disregard-just remembered you’ve got jump wings. Duh. Leave it to a 7051 to assume you were in a crash-wishful thinking;)
Stay safe.
LTCP-
Head on a swivel, always alert.
Lots of us “back in the world” are thinking of/praying for you and the rest of our brethren at risk.
Come safely home.
