Roller Coaster, part 2 | |
The process of moving from Kuwait to the US was grueling- moving all our gear from spot to spot, and then taking everything apart for a thorough customs inspection. We moved on to a lock-down: confined to a small area of camp, waiting 12 hours for our flight. I’ll never complain about arriving at the airport an hour before departure again!
Standing at the intersection of Blackstone Road with Richmond Road: Camp Virginia, Kuwait. We flew 6.5 hours to Ireland, changed crew and refueled, then flew 7 more hours to Banglor, Maine. The veterans there welcomed us at something like 2am and were amazingly enthusiastic for such an hour! From Maine, we flew a few more hours right outside of Ft McCoy, Wisconsin. We shuttled from station to station, filling out forms, getting medical checks, reviewing our records, and finally were released to fly home, at 3:30 in the morning! |
