Haven't landed yet

The last few days have been kind of frustrating. We woke up yesterday morning to find that it was finally time to move to another camp. We spent all afternoon packing up our stuff and cleaning out the tent. It took quite a bit of effort to fit all of our crap into the Hummvees, but after jumping on the hatch a few times we finally got it closed. We then drove about an hour away to our new home. By this time it was 6pm, the day was nearly over. After we'd been there no longer than ten minutes, however, our platoon sergeant received a call on his cell from higher ups. Apparently there had been a mistake, and we weren't supposed to move yet. We had to drive all the way back to our old tent and unpack our stuff just in time to jump into bed. We all felt cheated. A big chunk of our time had been wasted. Today we've received word that we're moving again first thing in the morning. Such is life I guess.
