Stuck in Kuwait

I got to Kuwait, along with Jason, Jason, and Chris, they are some friends and fellow pilots in my unit, at 2120 on the 6th of August. We go through all the crap briefings they give us, then we have formations throughout the night to get our travel plans. So we were supposed to leave at 0130 on the 8th and get to the states around noon on the 8th. This wasn't too bad in my book, cause Tara was supposed to leave on the 8th and get to Hawaii in the late afternoon on the 8th. I was gonna get there around 9pm. Then we are getting our briefing to leave, and they tell us the other group, going to Atlanta, got our plane cause theirs didn't show up. Needless to say I was pretty pissed. We are staying in tents, but at least they have some AC. I did get to play Mike Tyson's punchout. It was kind of exciting it has probably been over 15 years since I have played it. It was on a laptop on a nintendo format. I enjoyed it, thanks to my good friend Chris things actually came back to me pretty quickly on how to beat the big bullies. I will give it another whirl tonight see how I fair. I will try to let everyone know when I arrive in Hawaii. Hope everyone had a good Labor Day weekend. Talk to you all soon.
