I just thought Id let you all know that we took off, well I forget what day,
but a couple of days ago from Hawaii on a KC10 (air refueler) to McGuire
AFB, New Jersey. The flight was 10 hours and really close to sub zero
temperatures! LOL! We were sitting on 200,000 pounds of jet fuel and we
refueled a C5 on the way over. So, we got to Jersey and took a bus to Philly
then took a subway to Willow Grove, Pennsylvania. Stayed the night there and
got an Army C12 to Columbia, South Carolina where we picked up 3 people (1
Master Chief(Navy)) and flew up to Andrews AFB, Maryland where it was pretty
much crappy weather the whole time. It was really cold and rainy and it just
sucked. From there we got on an Air Force Reserver COMMAND C9 plane which
took us to Scott AFB, IL... Its a bit warmer here but its still cold!
Tomorrow we head to Peterson AFB, CO at 0330 (POSSIBLY!) and get in around
0500 or so. I will try to let you all know if that changes. Actually I cant
because at the passenger terminal you need to have Active Air Force ID card
to do email. Oh well, if you here from me at around 5 am then Im probably
still here. If you dont Im probably sleeping for quite awhile. Well Im gonna
head out to the gym for now. Talk with you all soon and love you all.
