Hurry Up and Wait

Written 7/22/2020

Josh made it off to Baltimore safely and spent two days in a hotel there.  He went to get on the rotator to Germany and since he is headed to Africa eventually, they would not let him board.  There was a case of active COVID that made it into Africa the day before on a military transport.  Instead of calling Germany to inquire (his orders say Germany), they sent him back to his hotel room to work it out on his own.  The deployment folks at Vance and in Germany were annoyed, but were able to book him on another rotator three days later.  So, Josh became "Husby in a hotel."  Finally, he arrived in Germany on the Ramstien base for in-processing.  And then, he waited in a hotel again, for most of the month of July.  At least this time he could leave his hotel room and explore the base.  Josh is getting a lesson in patience!

Josh is so grateful that he brought his camera and enjoys taking pictures
