PHONE CALL FROM THE TARMAC

CPT Patti called using her cell phone about 1045 this morning. Said she was calling from the tarmac at Ramstein Air Base as they were about to board a United Airlines jet bound for Kuwait City.

She sounded great...said the overnight bus ride and processing for the flight went smoothly for her company.

Said that seat assignments on the plane were made by rank. So CPT Patti is flying 1st Class to Kuwait City. Whoo Hoo!!

I'm glad for that little blessing - because there will be much discomfort for her over the next many days.

Flight is about 7 hours...they should be landing sometime about 1:00 pm east coast time.
