Coming Up Next...

Here is a brief overview of Josh's travels and how he will spend his time over the next few days/weeks.

At some point, hopefully soon, he will leave Kyrgyzstan and head west to Europe, landing in either Germany or Ireland. We will not know when that happens until he arrives in that country. If he is able to call, he will, but hopefully at least an e-mail. We have known that the turn-around for these flights can be quick, but we are not for sure on how things will happen.

From Europe, he will fly to the USA!!!

And then catch another flight to Ft. Bragg, where he will complete the demobilization process. This can range any number of days, usually 4 - 8, but we aren't sure how the holidays may impact that process.

Once the demob process is complete, he will then come home!

The interesting part of his travels thus far is that he is already separated from his bags! There were some issues leaving the country and the baggage was separated from the soldiers. The military has a very interesting packing process, and Josh has been know to have to pack and re-pack several times for each trip. There are specific numbers of each item in each bag that he has or had to pack to come home and it is likely that he will have to do some wash at some point along the way.

Stay tuned...
