millertime24 8 #1 January 16, 2010 So after a whole bunch of time sitting in an airplane I'm finally back in the good ol' USA. Right now I'm in the Baltimore USO and browsing the adds and my FB account waiting for my ride to Utah. Ill also add that after sitting in our really cramped plane coming from Quatar I upgraded my civilian flight to first class which proved to be far cheaper than I expected.

warpedskydiver 0 #17 January 16, 2010 Welcome back, be glad you did not stay a year! A friend of mine was in Afghanistan for three solid years. But he did save up quite a bit of cash while he was there. Plus he was able to take other guys tours so they could stay with their families. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
