Despite the best efforts of many, we made it back. The return trip could have been called Pee Wee Herman's Big Iraq Adventure. It even included a ride in the back of a Japanese Self Defense Forces C-130. I'll betcha didn't even know Japan had an air force, did ya? Well, they do.
It was a bit warm... The picture is of a thermometer in Kuwait as we were waiting to fly out. Yep, you see it right: A brisk 128 degrees...
Saw lots of folks over there, among them Rob Kaderavek and SSG (RET) Murray from 2-12 CAV days, Bill and Steve from CGSC, Chris Evans from UT. Even though it's almost half a million, it's still a small Army.
Overall, a good trip. Lots of insight. Now it's back to Mickey Mouse fun at Camp Funston...
Take care,
Ron
PS it was HOT.
