Everybody in place

All of our pilots and crew chiefs have arrived and everybody is getting to work.
Tonight should be the last orientation flights for our new arrivals and they will
be put on the mission schedule as either day AWT or night AWT (Air Weapons Team).
I flew the last 2 nights.  Last night/day we provided air cover for a 20 vehicle ground
convoy that was providing resupply to a nearby base.  The convoy route had a history of
IED's and ambush points.  We screened ahead of the convoy and reported to them anything
that seemed out of the norm.  They arrived at their destination and we broke station and returned
back to Shank.  They rest of the shift we were able to catch up on Monday night Football.
