So Long, And Thanks For All The Fish!
I’m at the Al Udeid internet cafe again, and we’re all getting packed and ready to leave. I bought a couple DVDs today to pass the time…War of the Worlds and The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. War of the Worlds was cheesy but I needed some good intense scenes of aliens killing humans to wake me up, and Hitchhiker’s Guide was just plain hilarious. I needed to see both of those. Other than that, I’ve been “touring” Al Udeid, and just chilling all day. The only thing that sucks about going home is that you have to wait forever for everything, but when I stop and think about it, it’s all for the good so I can deal with it.
So anyway, adios, arrivederci, this is my last blog post from the Middle East. Next time I write anything on here, I’ll be somewhere in the United States. Amazing when you think how quickly the last six months have gone by.
Before I go, I want to extend my most heartfelt thanks and gratitude to everyone who helped make this deployment a good one. You know who you are, so pat yourselves on the back, hug yourselves if possible, and hold on until I come back and see you guys. I love each and every one of you, God bless, and be good until I come home.
See you in the United States!!!

I left you an e-mail as well, but John has attempted three gates at Langley and they will not let him on base. He needed a sponsor. Will you be able to make arrangements to get your key another way? I am sure that he will e-mail or something when he gets back to the office, but asked that I let you know ASAP. I was talking to Adam by phone when he called in.
See you SOON!!!!!!

Chris, the base operator does not show a phone number for this lady you mentioned below or Command Visual Com! LAFB use to be a different place. I am amazed @ the LAZY attitudes of these LAFB personnel.
As your friend I would say, YES LORD! Get out of the Air Force as soon as you can. John

War of the Worlds is more than cheesy, it’s terrible. Welcome back to the best soil on earth.
