Adventures of Gumby and Duck - Part 2

Our intrepid heroes were pretty tired. It had been a very long day of travel and waiting. The first flight was short to Kuwait. As they got off the plane that morning, Duck looked over to Gumby and said "Are we in Qatar now Gumby?"

Gumby just smiled and shook his head. "No Duck. We are in Kuwait. This is where almost everyone goes first before they go to their final destination. We will be there later."

Duck just sighed, as he wasn't a big fan of flying. "Ok Gumby. I guess it doesn't look too bad here, as long as it is only for a little while."

They were to stay in Kuwait for most of the day. They picked up some food, and hung out watching a movie at the MWR. They were getting pretty tired as the day went on, as they had been up all night with their planning and excitement.

Finally, they were able to leave Kuwait. There had been a lot of waiting around, but the plane took off and they were on to Qatar.

"What will we do when we get there Gumby?" Duck asked.

"Well Duck, probably nothing, as we will have to wait around for a bit before we actually can get to where we are going. I don't know about you, but I am awefully tired" Gumby replied.

Duck nodded, as he was pretty tired too. They did sleep on the short flight and then waited around to get through customs and to bed. As they finally got to their room after what seemed like forever, Duck whispered to Gumby.

"This should be fun Gumby. All sorts of things to do for the next few days."

"You bet Duck. I think tomorrow will be rest and relaxation day, but we will have a bit of fun afterwards, that is for sure."

And they both drifted off with their own dreams of what to expect on this adventure.

Tune in next time for the latest.

The Adventures of Gumby and Duck - part 1

Gumby and Duck were hanging out on their shelf in Basrah. They lived in the office of Kristen Auge, Executive Officer of the NSC 34th STB. They had experienced some adventures when wiley lieutenants would take them out and around the COB for a bit, but overall, their life was pretty sedated.

One day, Gumby overheard a troop talking about going on pass to Qatar. Gumby looked over at Duck and said "I think we should go to Qatar, Duck."

Duck looked back with a questioning look. "Qatar? Where is that, and why should we go there, Gumby?"

Gumby just smiled and said "Qatar is away from here in a strange land. We should go there to have a little fun and live it up."

So Duck, being just a simple duck, agreed and said "How are we going to get there Gumby? You know I can't fly."

Gumby grabbed duck and they hopped into the soldiers bag when he wasn't looking.

"We are off to Qatar, Duck!"

So that is how they got on a play out of Basrah and headed to Qatar.
