Well. He’s to my first blog post coming at you from 37K feet above the United Sates. Today is Monday, 26 Sep 2011. I’m about to embark on my 4th deployment with the US Air Force. This time I’ll be headed to the wonderful country of Iraq. This is my second trip there, but first deployment as a Flight Engineer. I’ve heard mixed reviews about the new base we will be at and how everything is set up. I’ll be spending the night in Baltimore, MD before I jump on the chartered military aircraft taking me to the middle east. I look forward to keeping this little “online journal” and chatting with everyone while I’m spending the next few months in the sand. Stay tuned for more.
