On my way

Well I am now at Norfolk Naval Station waiting for my flight later today. We (me and 3 other people from my base) flew in last night and checked our baggage into the terminal then went to our billeting rooms. I fly out of Norfolk at 5:30pm and from there go to Bangor, ME, and then Ireland before landing at Al Udeid, Qatar. We take a chartered plane to Al Udeid and have to stay on it for quite a while. I hear it kind of sucks.

Anyway, from Al Udeid I will fly over to Baghdad International Airport (BIAP) and then take a Rhino (up-armored bus-like vehicle) or something similar to my base in the International Zone (IZ). I will email or update this again when I get there on the 2nd if I can. Hopefully everyone is figuring out Skype so we can talk over the internet. If you have questions, just call Richard.

Take care while I am gone and God bless!

Love, Micki
