I should have my own armed militia waiting for me on the airfield


I was told that I will not be going through the airport...lol and that there will be two armored out Tahoes waiting for me on the airfield. I have to spend a few days before that in Istanbul talking to a few guys there that helped us in Iraq and Afghanistan. Good times there.

I will just be there for a week in Iraq. Right now, just doing some advising on some things with their government and taking a look at some modernization of their "wheeled" and tracked vehicles.
