Finally, Outa Here!

Goodbye KAF, I won't miss ya!

Show time for "Moose 92" to Ali Al Salem Airbase in Kuwait is 1830 and will likely leave 2 hours later. Checked the flight at 1500 and it had ~150 pax (passengers) so I believe that means I'll be flying in a C-17 rather than a C-130. That's 3 hours less flying time to Kuwait! Sure hope the flight isn't cancelled (happened twice to my Navy room-mate prior to his departure). Either way, I have to wait until Saturday for the Freedom Flight.

Goodbye dust, rocket attacks, poo-pond smell and constant flight line noise. Hello 4 days of 115-120 degree heat and boredom but the end is in sight.
