NOT SO FAST............

5FEB07 Monday. Well, today is the day I should take off for the SandBox. Got up quite early. Got some breakfast in the Hotel. The Temps are down to 16 degrees. Received an email from a guy already in Country. He asked if I could pick-up some Aviator Wings for the Officer In Charge (OIC) in Afghanistan. Thus, the plan is to leave the Hotel (finally), get to the Exchange (buy Aviator Wings), swing by my buddies house, get our weapons, then head to BWI for our Flight. Left the Hotel at 9:00AM, went to the Navy Yard. While in the Exchange I get a Call from my buddy. Seems I just missed an email Stating that we are to head to Fort Bragg, North Carolina – Instead. After getting to my buddy’s house, I get a call from our mutual Friend (already in Afghanistan). He directs us to Standby. Somebody will contact us to Modify our Orders. At the Time of this writing (it’s now 5:00PM), have made several calls throughout the day. Still waiting for a call….Well, missed the Rotator Flight to Afghanistan. Have Reserved a Room at the Holiday Inn for the Night. We’ll see tomorrow. Doug
