Homeward Bound

Greetings from Kuwait!
We finally arrived in Kuwait sometime early this morning, and have only a few hours left until we start the final steps before we head home. The biggest obstacle is going through Customs; I finally got all of my bags packed, and early tomorrow morning will have to dump them out to make sure I don't have any rocket launchers or tanks hidden in my duffle bag. Once we've finished our inspections, it then becomes a waiting game. We've been given plenty of time to go through Customs, so I'm sure we'll have the better part of the day to wait around.

I couldn't help but laugh last night as we were boarding the C-17 cargo plane that took us from TQ to Kuwait. There were two long lines of Soldiers slowly loading from the rear of the aircraft, and as I looked up and watched some of the first Soldiers start heading up the ramp I saw someones arm raised well above their head...just flipping off Iraq. I think he summed up our feelings quite nicely.

We're outta here!
