Well, no. Seems there was an unusual number of active duty soldiers and their families on leave in the states trying to get back to Germany, and they all have a higher priority than me. I was number 88 on the pecking order, and there were only 38 seats released. One thing for sure, I understand the process a whole lot better. There is another flight tomorrow night, but at the moment there are no available seats. I'm not sure when the next flight after that will be. Here's a picture of the Air Mobility Command Check in line at BWI airport. So I'm back home in Arlington. The total trip up to BWI and back, including waiting time and dinner was just shy of six hours with public transportation....not too bad. I'll let you know when I'll be trying again.
