Great news, **Dryfreeze**!

When I returned to the US after 11 months in the Middle East, my aunt picked me up at the airport with a burrito in each hand. It was good to be home.

Hey **Dryfreeze** , when you get on the “Freedom Bird”, make sure you don’t sit between the fat kid and the smelly kid. 11 hours over the Atlantic between those two will try your soul more than any hand-to-hand combat ever will. 😃

Safe trip bub, and drop a line!

Alright I gotta question:  
Anyone know of an Airline that would be offering Military Discounted Fares for the time frame of 22 Jan - 25 Jan, Indianapolis to Jaxsonville, FL, round trip? hehe. Just curious.

I found through [ata.com](http://ata.com) a price from Indy to Orlando at $185.70 total.

I’ll keep looking.

$189.00 On Northwest, via Detroit. Nonrefundable. 7 day advance purchase required. this would be into Jacksonville, Fl

(ATA prices are also nonrefundable.)

Same price on US Air, via charlotte. (Seven day adv. notice. Nonrefundable. Penalty for changes. Sat. night stay required.)

This would be the lowest price, no military discount available or applicable to this fare already.

GO1? That’s still in effect?

Dude, we violated GO1 on the first day and every day after that. We had so much hooch we could have opened a bar over there. Man, if you were actually staying dry over there I think the first thing you need to do is have a beer. You have to be strung out a bit. I wish I could haul my ass down to Fort Campbell when you get back and buy it for you.
