Looks like I'll be flying out of BWI 8am the 30th to Minneapolis then an 8 hour flight to Honolulu to arrive purportedly around 3pm their time; then flying out of Hickam AFP at around 6 am on the 31st to arive on Wake something like 10 am on the1st (the int. dateline thing). Then I leave Wake on the 13th of October, arrive in Honolulu on the 12th, and fly from there to BWI arriving early in the am on the 13th. Strange.
There apparrently is snail mail to and from the island but I haven't got the address yet, nor do I have any idea how long it takes. I think it's likely that anything mailed to me will arive after I leave, so I guess I can't ask Jean to mail me any cinnamon rolls.
One thing I've been wondering the last few days is whether the recent report that the Russians have resumed long distance bomber patrol missions over the Pacific will affect the activity at Wake. I think that's fairly likely; it may be more interesting there than I had planned. They were as close as Guam last weekend, which is fairly close (600 some nautical imiles) by middle of nowhere standards.
I work my last 2 shifts for the summer at millville saturday and sunday then 3 days to pack and get out the door. Looks like if you want to comment I'm going to have to add each person individually, so just drop me an email if you're interested. Frank
