15-16FEB07. Undisclosed Location. We finally left Bishkek. The Flight to places unknown was shared by a lot of Army Guys. About 300+ Army Guys, in full Gear, vest, weapons, etc. I know how hard it is to sit in a regular seat with all that junk on. Regardless, our gear was in our seabags and we were quite comfortable for the ride. Certainly, the army guys didn't really know who we were. Two Navy Guys amonst a Sea of Army. After landing, we grabbed our junk and were shuttled to the PAX Terminal. Called our Contacts here and were met with a mini-van shortly thereafter. We were driven to our little Hootch (thank god not a tent). Still, the construction folks have just converted the spaces from an "office" to sleeping spaces. There are about 6 folks in the Hootch. Each work in the Same Shop as I. All, with different hours. Night and Days. So, the Overhead Lights are seldom On. And, we are all navigating our gear (in confined spaces) with these little flashlights. After quickly setting our gear down, we grabbed some chow, then went to the "Office". Much, to my surprise, I was a lot of familiar faces from folks I had trained with in Fort Jackson. Few grips and grins were shared. After a few hours at he Office, I was quickly dismissed to get some sleep and begin the Day Shift. Thus, I have already worked out, took a shower, and in general, getting into a routine. Will upate more when I can. Doug
