Trying to Get Home
P: Sorry...I’m trying to get out of here. It’s not so easy to get a flight. Hoping to get on a flight home with a soldier from 2/3, to wrap-up the story. MT
Don´t be sorry, I was just a little worried that I didn´t hear from you for some days, but I do wish, that you would be out of there soon, it´s not so great to sit here and think all kinds of thoughts....P
P: I’m stuck at BIAP waiting for a flight. 1 AD just started their leave program and there are five days worth of guys trying to get out of here. They’ve been sleeping in the sand for days--no running water, a couple of portajohns for hundreds of people. They are not happy campers. I’m hoping I’ll be home sooner, rather than later. I charged my phone--as soon as I hit the ground I’ll call.
