Wisdom of Warrior Faithful have heard me say "Enjoy the Journey" many times and the 40 hour trek to Al Udeid Air Base Qatar. C130 to Charleston, DC10 to Pease AFB, NH (where we were greeted by the infamous New Hampshire greeters - see link), DC10 to Bucharest, Romania, and then finally into Al Udeid for 3 hours of mostly efficient in-processing into out 40 man tents.
In all sincerity, early indications are that we will enjoy the journey. Sumo has effectively created a leadership culture where guys have a positive attitude and a sense of humor. Its the wrong time of year to leave Colorado and definitely the wrong time of year to be in Iraq, but each of us is proud to serve, ready for the mission, and willing to make the most of our time.
We talked on the flight about our 12 weeks. One of our endeavors (for most of us) is a 12 week fitness/body transformation. This is of course secondary to our primary mission accomplishment, but a fun sidebar of being deployed for 12 weeks. I encourage you to join us and commit to a 12 week summer transformation of your own! More soon.
