The Air Force and their damn 90 day rotations. 😃 Or did yours get bumped up to 120? It was depressing to see 4 airmen come and go into the same position while we were still there. Welcome home. ---

Welcome home. We were doing 60-day rotations because we were running into flying hour issues. Ho0wever, we ran out of a mission, so everybody got to come home. The only people left over are on the RAT team and they’ll be back on Friday. ---
