Stuck in Bagram

Posted February 13th, 2009 by Mike

Well, I’m still in Bagram waiting for a flight to Qatar. I was supposed to fly out the same day I got here but that flight was canceled. The next one was today (Friday) but we woke up to almost 8 inches of snow on the ground! It’s wet, slushy, nasty snow too. All the slush is freezing up tonight, it was already starting to when I came inside a few hours ago. So it looks like I’ll be here at least until Monday, maybe later. On the bright side I have a small room to myself with a real bed, not a cot, and there’s a shopette within walking distance and a BX a short bus ride away. I also get wireless internet in my room! Yahtzee! It’s slow, but it’s better than nothing.

Also on the bright side, there’s another guy from my unit scheduled to start his R&R this weekend so I may end up with him instead of all by myself.

    Oh…I guess the first comment DID go up. Well, better redundant than silent I guess. Sorry!
