We ended up leaving about an hour and a half late but our connecting flight to Kuwait was held for us in Dulles so we made the connection and are now in Kuwait.

Lt Clever and Lt Milligan both shaved their heads. Lt Milligan doesn't seem to happy about his hair (or lack of it). They seem to think the rest of the team will do the same......
