I made it to Kuwait today, a day before my scheduled departure because I put myself on a waiting list, and a seat was available for an earlier flight from Baghdad. That's the advantage of not being deployed by myself and not with a unit.
I'll be in Kuwait for the next few days. I need to turn in most of the military gear I received, which should take about 90 minutes. Then I will have to attend a briefing that will help me "re-acclimate" to the non-war world (don't beat your family members, talk to someone if you believe you have PTSD, let us know if you have any ailments, etc.). I was told that takes no more than two to three hours. Then I hang out in Kuwait until my scheduled flights leaves. My next stop after Kuwait is beautiful Gulfport, MS, for more military processing.
