A Hitchhikers Guide to the Middle East Part V

I have made it back to home plate... WOOOOHOOOOOO! Five days of traveling just to attend a thirty minute meeting, it boggles the mind. I was so glad to leave that last camp, as I had mentioned previously, it was an Air Force camp. I usually enjoy going to visit the Air Force because they always have the best stuff and are great hosts. Not at that camp. It was not so much that the facilities are poor, they are not, in fact they are rather good. The problem is everyone posted there (well just about everyone I dealt with) was a jerk. Lousy customer service all around. I have a theory as to why. They are used to being pampered and comfortable. Throw a little character building hardship at them and they just get bitchy. Very disappointing.

Got a C130 outbound going to my camp. It was a Texas Air Guard bird. I was pleased that I was in the company of Texans. When I boarded the plane I greeted my fellow Texians and was shocked and dismayed to find out the flight crew was from Nevada. Right then and there I demanded to know if our govenor new they had our plane! They just told me to sit down, strap in and shut up. I complied.

Made it back to home plate at about 1500 today. It is good to be home. Wandering around this AOR I visited 4 countries, 5 different camps and facilities and I have to say it make me appreciate how nice we have set ourselves up here in our little African paradise.

He 1st Texas. How did the defense of Washington Arkansas go? Kick some blue belly butt? Major Fred redeem himself for getting us all captured at 140th Gettysburg?
