It was a hell of a trip, but I am home...pt. 1...

































Well, as you can see, we had about a 14 hour flight home, just from Germany, after a 23 hour layover and 8 hour flight before that. But thankfully, we were on a C-17 and had a good amount of leg room. The flight crew was from the Alaska Air National Guard, and they let us come up in the cockpit and check out all the cool toys and views. I went up there just as we went "feet wet" over the Atlantic ocean. The last piece of land that we crossed was England, as you can see from the pic of our flight path. As you can see, the accommodations are not like your typical civilian air craft. We do get to sprawl out in the back and where ever we can to sleep. Headphones are a must on these flights as well. But the C-17 also has outlets so we could continually recharge our toys for the flight. It was a smooth flight, and I don't think any of us would have complained because we were on our way home. We were originally scheduled for a mid-air refuel, but that got canceled at the last minute, so we had to make a stop in Canada. My camera died about half way thorough the flight, so I will be getting some more pics from my buddies to up date some more. I will also try do do a "year" in summary of pictures as well. Thanks to all who have and are supporting us and all the rest of our troops. I some more pics on here soon. SSG Russell Miller.

On my way home


Ok, well I am really excited!! I know I have not put any pics on lately, but some of my camera stuff has been packed up. I will get a bunch of pics on here when I get home, which should be in the next 24-48 hours. I am so happy and can not wait to see my family. We are in transit right now, so I have been jumping on wi-fi hot spots here and there. I look forward to getting home and I will give you all some good updates and pics. Later for now,
