surprise surprise. still waiting. standby. indefinitely. what's really surprising is how eager i am to get in theater. i mean, i was a little excited, but now i just can't get there soon enough! skipper joked that the air force guys who were supposed to take us prolly took a bar hopping jaunt in bahrain thinking they were doing us poor marines a favor by delaying our flight. i'm sure the lance corporals and other junior enlisted were thankful that they got to load and unload and reload and re-unload the packs and seabags multiple times. lucky them. seriously though, i was very impressed with the upbeat and jovial attitudes they were able to maintain throughout (and to my dismay, and the resulting bags under my eyes, how they kept it up way into the wee hours of the morning). they do continue to impress with their enthusiasm. also impressive was butterbar who was able to maintain composure in spite of being plane captain with everyone scowling. j/k...we weren't scowling, well, not that much anyway.
i hear ooh-rah's on her way back. how cool would it be to cross paths on this long, tedious journey. if you're out there in camp virginia, find me!
and one final shout out to raf who celebrated his 28th birthday here yesterday doing what else? waiting. happy birthday foolio. hope it wasn't all bad....wanna catch a movie?
