And He's Off...Again

Well today is the day that Chris is supposed to leave the U.S. He was actually supposed to leave yesterday but they apparently had some problems with the aircraft they were taking over. I know he was really frustrated yesterday considering half of his platoon left yesterday and his half had to stay behind. I just hope they get to leave today! I am sure I probably won't have contact with him for at least 2 days as I have heard it is a minimum of a 22 hour flight and they have to stop somewhere in Europe for a layover. He keeps telling me that he will call me the second they land but I keep telling him to keep in mind the 8 hour time difference....meaning please don't call me if you know it is 2 am here! I will let everyone know when he finally lands in the Middle East!
