Won't be on much...in transit.

[Matt McKenzie]

Well guys, I am heading off to Jalalabad to help push people through to Bagram and on their way home. I will not have a desk to work at or a computer, so there won't be a lot of time online for me. I might get on every few days just to check in...but that depends on how busy I am. Hopefully I will be back online from the States by 14 January!!! Thanks for making my work days here a lot better and see you soon!!!

Well, not the best Christmas. Been pushing a lot of people though Jalalabad to get to Bagram. I finally got to go to bed Christmas morning at 5am....but had to get up at 9am. Now here it is 6am on the 26th, and I haven't been to sleep yet again....why does the Military love doing all of it's flying at night, LOL!!!! About 15 days...so I will deal!!!!!!

[sharp charge]

Merry Christmas Matt! Hang in there.

[Matt McKenzie]

Well, you must be close now, Matty. Suppose you're busy in transit still and you may not get this message but hope you do.

(Hey, does anyone know exactly when Mr. Matt'll be home to Fort Drum? I bet he's jumping out of his skin to see his fiance!)

[Matt McKenzie]

Everything was going good...we boarded a flight and flew from Manas, Kergystan to Germany...then we found out that we have been delayed 12 hours. I am so frustrated right now, I just want to get home. Plus Sarah is in New York waiting for the welcome home ceremony which will now be pushed to around 2am Sunday morning. I know, I know....why am I complaining when I will be home soon!?!?!?! I am just ready for this deployment to be completely over....well, at least I can be online for the next 12 hours, LOL!!!

[Mag 8]

Shit, Matt, totally understandable that you're frustrated when you're so close to getting home!
Even though your celebration will be early morning after a long flight and time changes, I bet you won't miss a beat!
Fly, man, fly!
