Travel Update

I got a call last night at 11pm from Neilson. He has made it to Kuwait safe and sound. He reports that he will most likely not have internet access until round about his birthday when he is at his final destination.

His flight was long and thankfully uneventful. It was late, however taking off. We dropped him off at the company to draw his weapon Friday at 11:30 pm. Wheels up was scheduled for 7:30am Saturday morning. Well, the aircraft broke before getting here and the crew was up fixing it so they needed their required sleeptime so from my understanding, wheels up was at 7;30 pm. No, we did not go wait with him -- didn't want to say goodbye again.

Anyway, he did make it to Kuwait and they are busy getting organized to move north. Round about Christmas he will go to a commanders class at a different location and like I said before, he will be at his final destination on his birthday give or take a day.

Like I said before, he will not have internet access for a monthish. He does have a few phone cards (thanks mom!) to make calls. FYI he has access to AT&T phones so those are the phone cards that work. Be aware, that just because it says 600 minutes on the card does not mean that's how many domestic minutes. Iraq to America calls are expensive! Oh and I do have his address. due to OPSEC I will not post it but you can email or call me to get it.
