Friday and Saturday: Bliss to Doha

We spent most of Friday watching all of the hundreds of bags get checked for all sorts of things that they don't want on the flights. Lots of dogs were used.
Eventually we headed out to the airport part of the base. After several briefings we boarded that plane and headed for Germany.

They messed up the arrival and we had to sit on the tarmac for 2 hours as we waited to be refueled. After that we headed on in to Doha. We got there around 10pm local time. After a quick "welcome to Kuwait" briefing, we did bag detail. Remember those hundreds of bags? We had to unload them all so that we could then wander around looking for ours. Remember, these weren't a bunch of Samsonite bags. We're talking hundreds of green duffle bags.

Mike from ITT met us and took us back to the ITT bay. He gave us a 30 minute or so briefing about the upcoming week and the things we could do that would get us fired and sent stateside.

Around midnight we all went to the chow hall to eat. Pretty good food and a decent variety.
