ROCKETMAN


21-23APR07. Saturday. Departed for parts south on a C130. Haven’t ridden in one for some time. About 45minutes later, reached our destination. Ran around setting some things up with our people there. Had about an hour sleep the night before. Just about the time we are getting situated, Rockets were inbound. Luckily, only a couple got in the compound. Nine Rockets in total. Finally went to sleep around 1230Z or 4:30L. Had been up for 46 hours. Needless to say, my butt was dragging. Got up after 9hours of sleep, and commenced my day. Again, the day ended Long and laborious. Got a call from my boss to get back north. Jumped onboard a CASA for the trip back. After my return, went right to work. Needless to say, close to quitting time, my co-workers made me go home. Slept for 15hours. A personal best. Did take some pics. Will try to upload.
All my best. Doug
