UPDATE:
I just received the following from SSG Bass:
We just arrived in Kuwait 30 mins ago. We don't even know when we are coming to
the states. Were fighting sandstorms left and right. Since there was 3 days
worth of sand storms there were 2500 people's flights cancelled all over
theater. We barely got here without our flight getting cancelled. All I know is
that when we leave here there will be 5 days of demob and then we come home.
So it might be another week before he get home but I will keep you in the loop.
