31, and waiting with b-bag packed. For weeks before our hospital commander kept giving us briefings that our UTC was tasked to go either to Saudi or Yemen it was just a matter of time, his words "we are on the invite list and just waiting for our airplane tickets". They tasked almost the entire group at Mountain Home except for the hospital, they took a couple of surgeons, some med techs, some admin guys and most of the Bio Enviormental guys. The rest of us stayed behind taking up the slack on base and watched everything on TV.
