Well, I was actually talking to an airline a couple nights ago trying to get a ticket for when my hubby comes home. The dates of his return are nowhere near set in stone. His leave is scheduled for December 15, but it takes about three days to get out of Baghdad! Nothing is for sure! He may get to Baltimore on the 16 or not until the 20th! The airlines participating with military assistance are selling 'open' tickets, and will allow the soldier to get on the first flight that they show up for. I was really happy to hear this, things are never scheduled with the military!
