OK......Josh stopped in Maryland to visit with his Mother and Step-Dad before headeding over seas. He had an awesome visit and got to see most of his family. He flew out for Germany and was supposed to fly straight on to Kuwait. Of course, nothing comes easy with the military. LOL. They were told there would be a 40 minute layover when it was really a 2 hour layover. Then there was a sandstorm in Kuwait so they couldn't have landed there. While waiting for that to blow over, a lightening storm blew up around the airfield in Germany. After a good 8 hour delay, they left and headed down range. He has been in Kuwait for about 5 days now, doing more training. He says the instillation's there are really nice and that he was getting a little spoiled waiting there. He knows his camp/post will be far from swanky. He called yesterday to let us know that he was headed to the airport to wait for a flight to Iraq.
If anyone is interested, here is his address:

Capt. Joshua Tomchesson
1972 Medical Group
APO AE 09312
