Today's final leg of my trip brought me back to COB Speicher in Tikrit via CH-47 Chinook. While I was excited to get back to my own CHU and own bed, I was not looking forward to the long flight. It is rare to get a direct flight in Iraq (I need a new travel agent!!!). This flight originated
in Mosul and landed at two other FOB's before arriving at its final destination, Tikrit. Each leg of the flight was long enough that we had to refuel twice. Most of us on the flight were so tired that we all kept dosing off for short moments during flight only to be awoken by a sharp turn in one direction or the other. But, I thankfully made it safely to Tikrit were I am sure I will soon be back to work.
