Goldylocks, a C-130, and thou...

Well kids, I'm back in KAF. The adventure ends and then yet another was waiting for me.
At LNK as we call Leatherneck, had to flip flop down to the shower on rocky road. I couldn't understand why my foot hurt. I was about to buy new flipflops when I found this "arrowhead" in my flipflop:

This picture is actual size.............I do have big feet.....Ok, not so much. Remember, never let the facts get in the way of a good story. Hey it hurt, ok and felt that big. Moving on...
When is was in  the military no matter where I had to go I ended up in a C-130. Well, the streak continues. I was promised a C-17 and sure enough, they sent a  C-130 for my ride up and back to LNK. Marines up, Air Force back. Just get on, crank up and off we go. No "Life jackets are located..." Stuff. Just turn and burn, baby. Also no bathroom. Not a problem for a short flight but add waiting time and then bus rides and "stay hydrated," this becomes an issue. It was the longest bus ride of my life after we landed. Then the Air Force Airman wanted to give me a "Welcome to KAF" lecture. Sorry, dude, I gotta pee. I lapped an F-18 on a take off roll as I headed to the porta potty. It truly is the pause that refreshes.
So what was I doing at LNK? Covering for a PA who fell victim to "reply all" email hell. Said the wrong thing in an email and sent it to the wrong folks. Had to fly to KAF and pay the piper. Piper properly paid, proceed LNK. So we passed at the flight line and homeward bound I was. After arriving home to my beloved 229 I found that someone had been sleeping in my bed [enter dramatic music]!! Who would dare?! Well turns out that nobody would. They thought that someone might, so Kharki my Lead Medic, put my stuff in the closet to protect it. Mystery solved...
