Goodbye Phoenix

We had to be up and ready at 630 for our 1145 flight. Everyone was there on time and they had big 5 ton trucks ready for us, and after taking attendance, they loaded up the first group of 53 into four trucks and headed out to Kabul International(KAIA). I was in group two so I had a bit of time, I really didn't do much, just hung out and waited for them to get back because it's only an hour round trip including the drop off.

My turn came and I hopped up in the back of the big truck. Very interesting ride because I didn't have ammo, and for the first time was out on the roads without being enclosed. The sights and smells of Afghanistan tour. I should have had to pay extra for it!


So long Phoenix!
