Travelling sucks, but...

Day seven of going home for leave. First we took a little 12 seater plane to the main airbase in Afghanistan. Spent several days there getting briefed on what to do in the leave process, but mostly doing nothing. Then rode a giant old C17 to one Gulf country and switched to another C17 to another Gulf country. Arrived after dark and then had another leave briefing from 1:30 to 2:30 AM. The sun has now risen (2 hours of sleep) and one more brief. We will have our bags inspected then wait several more hours to..... GO HOME! Hoorah!
