Hi all.

Well a lot has happened since the last post. I am currently writing this on my way down I-95 just north of Baltimore. I did not want to leak out any information until I was sure I was on my way home, not just for R&R but for good for this deployment.

Our replacements showed up last week and we started turnover right away (sorry for not answering any emails lately). We were scheduled to fly at a later date but runour had it helo flights were going to be shutdown for awhile so I cleared it with the CO to leave a little early. We left Speicher a little before midnight on Thursday the 22nd to Balad and then manifested for a 2:30 flight out on the 23rd. We landed in Ramstein, Germany that night about 8 PM. We continued out on the 24th about noon to terminate our flight at McGuire Air Force Base, New Jersey. After some negotiating a shuttle to the Philadelphia airpot to get a rental brings me up to date.

I will be taking some vacation as Robyn and I head to Florida with the kids for spring break.

Robyn, if you read this I love you and will see soon. Don't tell the kids.
