In Kuwait

So the plane left at 2000(8:00pm) Eastern Time. We stopped in Shannon Ireland for about an hour, and we landed in Kuwait City at 2000(8:00pm) Kuwaiti time on the second of February. After we deplaned we sat in buses on the tarmac waiting for the baggage detail to unload the plane. But they had to wait until the fuel truck disconnected from the plane. So the buses took us to a staging area with water and porta-potties - YEAH!! We finally left the airport at around 2200(10pm) on our way to Army LSA Ali Al Saleem. We swiped out ID cards in (now my pay is tax-free and I am getting extra combat pay) and were briefed about the rules on the LSA. We then signed up for Space-R. Space-R is an interesting thing, we signed up and our names were put at the bottom of the list. but whenever an R&R flight came in we were bumped down on the list. Evidently their computer system was messing up as we later found out. There are 4 categories of people trying to get on flights. Groups of soldiers on ULNs (Unit Line Numbers), Space Blocked soldiers and civilians, people returning from R&R, and people getting into country for the first time - like us. But usually groups of 20 soldiers - like us - have ULNs and get out on the very next flight. But not us. I found out later that we had something like that and were supposed to fly through Manis (in Tajikistan) but some leader decided that wouldn't work for him. So here we are on day 6 and we finally have a ULN because our LNO(Liaison) is tired of looking at us. Yeah for persistence!! So we will be on the next passenger flight out of here, assuming that one is not reconfigured...
