Growing Pains and Going Nomadic

The addition of our relieving squadron is not without some pain. Buses will be packed, chow lines will be long, and there will be arm wrestling matches to determine who gets computer access. No matter how chaotic it gets, we are still glad they are here. The faster we get them settled into their living quarters and offices, the sooner we can start getting home.

With that being said, about half of VP-4 have moved into tents to facilitate VP-40's arrival. While not the most ideal living environment, it is yet another sign that we are almost out of here. Most of the personnel going on the first airlift are "camping" in tents at the moment. Luckily, most have already packed up their personal belongings to be sent home, so they've essentially turned into a nomadic horde. We're still awaiting word on the specifics of the first airlift.

Above is a picture of the whole team taken just a few days ago. A good looking crowd, wouldn't you say?
