Our guys just left and I'm already starting to hear things such as this. No, not of them coming home, obviously, but of them traveling to their final (or not so final...you know how that goes) destination in Iraq. Last night I went to a 'social gathering' and all the wives were talking about where their husband's were, etc. (now keep in mind, we were told not to expect to hear from them for at least a month...so how are they hearing from their husbands? hmmm) Anyway, one of them asked me where mine was. My response: "I don't know and I want to keep it that way for now." You should have seen the jaws that dropped to the floor. Can't wait to see what rumors develop from that incident! (We'll be in the first stages of divorce by next week, just you wait and see! lol) ;-) <BR/>Hugs,<BR/>LaurenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12619517.post-1139541447846982772006-02-09T19:17:00.000-08:002006-02-09T19:17:00.000-08:00Well, let's clear this up then. It's 34 days from...Well, let's clear this up then. It's 34 days from the BOG date which incidentally stands for Big Orange Pumpkin, but it will probably be something more like 23.4 days plus or 1.7 days based on the meteorlogical algorithim but that has to be converted to Greewich Mean Time and adjusted for the Corealis effect. Throw in 3.2 days for customs inspections pre-flight breeifings and time reeserved for the Air Force Pax terminal workers to smile smugly and piss you off then subtract 2.1 days if you happen to have an Air Force O5 or above flying with you on Space A. Of course this doesn't include the madatory .375 phases of the moon wait at that Purgatory in K'stan and all of this is subject to the whim of the Evil Flight Planning Voo Doo Witch Doctor.<BR/><BR/>It was probably safest that she did know the exact times that we or they are supposed to fly since those are the only times we are virtually guarenteed not to b travelling.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for all your support over the last year, he'll be there before you know it.<BR/>FP5Firepower 5 - Godspeed we Love Youhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06256359316052968592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12619517.post-1139250860988671282006-02-06T10:34:00.000-08:002006-02-06T10:34:00.000-08:00Damn man, it is not like we are talking about spil...Damn man, it is not like we are talking about spilled milk here.
