Letter One

Hey guys,

I have been flying non-stop until about right now, and I still am not at my final destination. I've managed to hit 6 countries in 3 days or however many it has been. I'm not even sure what day it is now, or time for that matter. We don't go by day or night here we go by hit times and where we need to be when. The good thing is that almost everything is open 24 hours. So we left Topeka and flew to Germany, from there we went to Turkey, then to Kazerkistan (or something like that), then we got on a military plane to fly to Afghanistan but the weather was bad there so we over shot that and went to Kuwait. After a 5 hour wait in Kuwait we tried to fly back to Afghanistan and made it this time. Now I am at one airbase waiting to fly to our final destination in Afghanistan. So it has been crazy. I think that we are maybe 12 hours different than you guys, if I go by local time? My ass hurts from sitting so much but other than that everything is going good. We should get in tomorrow sometime (the 10th), and start to get settled. I think that we will have to go through about a day or so of briefs, and then we will start working with the other unit to get everything transferred. I'll write you guys again when I get a chance and let you know what my living situation is like and whether or not I have phone and internet access. Someone was saying that if you lived by a military base I could call them and they would put me thru for free to you guys since it is a local call. So I might try that with offutt. We'll see. Talk to you guys soon hopefully.

Love,
Todd
