Here I am ... again

Ok folks a lot has happened since my last post. Let see were to start. First things first. We have a new president, and I have a new boss. Ok we got Obama now what are we to do with him. He will only get done what he is allowed to do. Hope that is 1/2 of what he thinks he is. Ok enuff of that. I had to go get a plane down in Kandahar. Oh boy now there is tourists place if I every saw one. I have been there a few times and it has been built up and more stuff added but it is still a Shit Hole. Oh it also is not the safest place here either. Plus they have this very unique smell, How does one go about explaining a 1/2 to an acre pond full of human waste. Oh wait one can not. Oh well you one die once so I am not worried. Will we get there try and get on the plane, it is locked. The aircrew did not give the Marines the combo to the lock so here we go trying to find them. Let stop here by saying I now love the corp. My son n law is one I have a new found respect for them. They helped us with above and beyond what was needed. Hell they gave us a ride back to Bagram. So is you know a Marine tell them good job. Back to the plane. We find the crew , after about a hour of looking for them. Ok talk to them not very informative as what the problem is. I make the call when we get back replace bad part in about 4 total hours. Guess what can not find crew to run the engines and check out the plane. Ok now ME not very happy and I want to just go off. I watch our ride land and since we can not find crew . I watch them take off as soon as their cargo was loaded. Ok now it is going on 04:00 and I am tired hungry and mad. So we slept on the plane. Wake up at 06:30 when the aircrew show up. Ran engines, plane all better. We watch them leave about 2 hours later and then we get a ride on a Marine 130. Love those guys. Got home and faster than me guys at Bagram had worked. Next time I have to find my own way home I will heading toward the states or at least a beer. Later for now. Oh I almost forgot met a Marine from Hickory NC. Not far from where I grew up. Very very cool.

Now for the kick in the nuts. The First Sgt. for the F-15s decided to unhook out net service. I mean the whole top floor. I thought that we are at war with the enemy outside the fence not in our own building. Well our Maint. Officer took that ball and ran with it. We net back but about 30+ hours no net. Did tell you that I love Stupid Folks. Just brings a warm fuzzy to me......NOT!!!!!
