Feb 26-Mar 1 Well greeting folks in Blog land! A lot has happened the past few days. I had to do some work getting the planes ready and fixing small problems as well. Hey I got a day off. That was great to just sleep and recharge my batteries. Oh guess what, It rained and snowed again! This place turns to mud very fast. It looks like pudding and sticks to everything. But on the other hand it drys very fast and turns into a dust bowl very fast. The dust is worse than sand. It is like baby powder and stays in the air for ever. I will be so glad when I get out of here.
OK I guess you have heard that we had an attack onthe gate. I wasn't near it but the bomb did kill some folks. That brought the whole war back to me again. The base sent 2 of them home and as they caskets passed, yes I teared up. I was standing out on the flight line watching the sunrise,it was so cold you saw every breath. You could hear a pin drop out while they were bringing those brave souls down to get on what is to be there final ride home. Each of us saluted as they passed and watched in silence as they loaded them up. We loaded up another brave soul from Korea yesterday afternoon. I hope that no more are killed, but then again as long as we are here then I'm sure we will lose more. Oh well ,enough for now. I will have some pics up later on.
