Hi-Speed Hold - Bishkek







13FEB07 Tuesday. [Bishkek, Kyrgyztan]. Had to get up several times at night to hit the head. Stumbled in the dark, found the nearest porta-john. Finally got up at 5:30AM. Feeling quite refreshed. Went to get an update on the Flight to Afghanistan. The 8:00AM is now slated for 12:00PM. Check again after chow. Flight has been cancelled. Still, majority of folks are in their rack catching-up on some much needed sleep. After several dry-runs to the Air Force regarding Flights. I can tell it might be a couple of days until we get out of here. In the interim, the Army and Air Force are running around in their “Official” PT Gear (considered a uniform). However, the 3 Navy Guys really stand out. We are in Mix and Match PT Gear. Everyone has weapons. Unfortunately, the PT gear does not have a holster with it. Thus, we are just sticking the M-9’s wherever we can. Currently at the CafĂ©’ with Hi-Speed Wireless. Not a bad deal. There’s not a lot to do other than Eat, PT, Sleep. Email. Doug
