A Year In The Sandbox » Bagram http://www.ayearinthesandbox.com A chronicle of my experiences preparing for and going on a deployment to Afghanistan Mon, 31 Jan 2011 21:13:06 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.3 Stuck in Bagram http://www.ayearinthesandbox.com/2009/02/13/stuck-in-bagram/ http://www.ayearinthesandbox.com/2009/02/13/stuck-in-bagram/#comments Fri, 13 Feb 2009 21:45:47 +0000 Mike http://www.ayearinthesandbox.com/?p=229 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.
