Well the younger son has been at Ft. Knox since the 15th of June, completed all the in processing and was scheduled to leave today for Bosnia. So much for the best laid plans.
The flight was scheduled for 2:00pm with a 1 hour layover in Dulles before taking off for Austria. Keeping in the true form of the Airlines these days the flight was delayed 1 hour....Maintenance. Well looks like it's delayed again and even if it does take off they will have missed the connecting flight. For now it looks like a trip back to Ft. Knox and possibly back home early due to a cancelled trip.
It's a shame that all these cadets will miss such a good opportunity because the Airlines can't seem to get there act together these days.
This just goes to show that all the cadets heading off to new places will need to be prepared for anything. A group that is at Ft. Knox waiting to go to Vietnam found out at the last minute that the country was not ready for them, they spent an extra week at Ft. Knox before they could head out for a shortened trip. The cadre did a nice job keeping them busy, they took them to Nashville and on a camping trip while they waited.
Good luck to all those still waiting for their CULP dates, just remember it's not confirmed until you step off the plane in the country you are going to.
