Well, the Chief called me from the airport in Salt Lake City to say good-bye. We only talked a moment and he assured me he would email as soon as he could from Iraq.

This evening, Mrs. Wiggles calls me, he is on his way back HOME! His commanding Col. in the guard frantically called her, trying to stop Paul before he got on the plane, but they were too late. He was gone.

From what I understand, they finally got a hold of his pilot on the way Kuwait. So, as far as I know, the Chief landed in Kuwait and then was in the process catching a flight back to the US.

Now, this doesn't mean he might not have to go again in the future, but for now, they have decided they can do without him and he is coming home! Hopefully for good this time!!!

UPDATE: He is in Amsterdam, awaiting a flight home, not Kuwait.
