Yeah, got and e-mail from Christian today updating us in his adventure across the world. It sounds like he is having fun, so I'm passing this off to anyone that wanted to know how he was and if you wanted to email him, send him a message at Christian.Colon-02@travis.af.mil
Yeah so....here's the message.
Hey buddy!! Just droping you a line from here in the middle east!! This is really just a update for whats been going on recently and such and such. You can fwd this or pass this along to the family, and the rest of the crew if there curious what I've been up to.
The fourteen hour flight from SFO wasnt that bad. The plane was preety large and everyone had a screen in front of them. It had a wide selection of new movies you could choose from. I got to see The Dark Knight before it even comes out on DVD!! :D
Well after that flight, we connected from Paris to Jeddah, took a really crazy cab drive from one airport to the other and then flew straight into our area. I got here about monday and started working wednesday I beileve. Our main body came in a little while ago and were into our shift work cycles now. I'm working three days on and one day off, 8 hour shifts and I'm working on a swing shift(2Pm-10PM). Its not too bad, but when I got here I was working the night shift from 7pm to 7am, so my sleep is still out of whack. It kinda sucks, because even now I'm up from 6am to 10pm, try to go to sleep and only sleep for about 5 hours, even when Im dead tired. I can't wait to get back to your house and sleep in that comfy guest bed.
Um thats preety much it so far. Its preety boring here with all this free time I got when Im not working. I'm not really used to it, I was expecting to work 12 hours everyday the whole time I was here. It kills time faster really. I just play games and watch movies when Im not working, or go running. This whole thing ends on the 21st and I'll be home the 26th, in the afternoon, SO I will be making it for Thanksgiving!
Well if anyone else you know wants to say hi or drop me a line, please pass out this email address to them. I cant really check internet sites, so I'm preety much just using this email address through a mobile office outlook site. And emails are nice, I like to know whats going on outside this hangar.
Well take care bro.
Much love,
Christian
