War Zone Round Up!
January 7th, 2010 | Photography | Posted by Erik Hildebrandt
1/7/10: This post is made as I prepare to head over to cover all of Fifth Fleet (NAVCENT) AOR for the next two weeks. If it all possible, I will make updates from theater and let you all know how the trip is going. At this point, I will be operating in and out of Bahrain, making the initial push straight out to Nimitz for coverage of the carrier air wing including VFAs 14/41. After that, the trip gets a bit insane with a whirlwind of stops in Iraq, Afghanistan, Saudi, Qatar and UAE. One way or another, I will make sure to update this blog with the sights and sounds of this incredible adventure along the way. Until then, please keep checking back and wish me luck! And YES! I do realize how cool this is going to be. You can rest assured I feel incredibly fortunate. Thanks in advance to VADM William “Shortney” Gortney.
Next stop, the Sandbox!
