Air Travel or Not
It is approching 3 weeks since I left and I am yet to reach my destination. The effieciency or really the lack there of of military planned travel. But dare not deviate from the plan because someone might spin out of control because they are not programed to think on their own or show any initiative. So even theough you can get down range within a few days just stick with the plan and mark off your first month to travel. Oh and when you get to AFB X in the middle of Europe or Central Asia and you find yourself stuck there for days or weeks don't have any delusions that you are going to go off base because apparently the world might end as we know it. So stick to the tiny trailers that are overstuffed with Joe and the crappy WiFi, pop corn and coffee. I am yet to see the upside of this deployment. I know it will come but the trying part for me every time is this purgatory where I am stuck with the walking brain dead of the conventional force support elements. I can only dream that sometime very soon I will be on my own fire base in AFG far far away from this sad depressing process. But then again I will have to endure the ame stupidity on my way home. I wonder how we can beat our opponents sometimes when it takes us nearly a month to get someone down range, while on the opposing side they can get someone from the tribal areas in Pakistan to the U.S. in about 2 days max.
