mini-muffin Posted July 3, 2010 Share #1 Posted July 3, 2010 Well he finally made it back to his base. We dropped him off at the airport on sunday. Actually we pretty much threw him out of the truck said a quick goodbye and left. It was a bit of a mad house at the Atlanta airport. So he got to Dubai then had to fly to Kuwait. Some new policy after I made his reservations that said they have to go and come from Kuwait. I figured out why after he got there. You have to pay 15 for a visa and then some more for a few other things. Seems they have a racket going. Anyway then he had to get to Kandahar. That took a bit of time then he got stuck in Kandahar. Finally got to shindand yesterday, but I heard from him today which is their tomorrow. Anyway, he finally made it there. He has 54 days to go. 50 till he leaves Afghanistan then 4 in Kuwait or something like that. Then he heads to Atlanta again and takes their transport back to Benning. After he gets done with that he's mine again. Hopefully the last bit of time will go fast. I guess I should figure out where to get a clock to countdown the days and add it to my signature.

Dano Posted July 3, 2010 Share #3 Posted July 3, 2010 That's good news Mini, glad to hear he made it back safe. Is he going back thru Rammstein on the way home? Maybe a Squeeze M&E? We're trying to set up the schedule to make Asheville, hoping it works out. Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poledar Posted July 3, 2010 Share #14 Posted July 3, 2010 Margaret, We are all glad that Jeff will be home in a few weeks. I'm sure it has been a difficult time while he was away, but the homecoming will be a celebration worthy of note!!! May God keep His eyes and His hand on Jeff through these last days.
