Returned back to Baghdad..
Took a few days to travel to Balad. Left Saturday via Blackhawk nice little 30 min ride north...spent 3 days in Balad to complete a mission then sat in the Pax Terminal for 11 hours waiting to catch a flight back to Baghdad . My buddy and I wanted to get back earlier then my scheduled flight on Tuesday so went up to the terminal to Space "A" (available) Monday at 1500 and took off at 0045 ..was a nice break from the norm

Let me get this straight-you took and EARLIER flight on purpose? Stuff like that will get you a section 8.
Edit: I'm screwed up or are you in the States or Bagdad? |

Boy, threads like this bring it all home and make what's going on over there real. It's easy to forget it PEOPLE and not just numbers and pics on CNN.
Thanks for protecting me and my family! Get home safe. Kevin |
