My son, Staff Sargent Joshua E. Lapenta, is now on a plane heading home to Nebraska where he is stationed at Offut AFB.
He left Afghanistan on Wednesday, flew to Ramstein, then to Ft. Bragg for debriefing (he deployed with Spec Ops, he is USAF Intelligence). Got stuck there for a day because all flights to Omaha were booked (personally for military going home I'd give up my seat or let em bump me).
Caught a red eye to Detroit and is now on his way to Omaha and his GF. I most likely won't get to see him till August but at least he is back on US soil! Proud and happy dad here!! Welcome home son!!
He went over December 3rd. Oh and he informed me he is reupping for another 6 years! GO AIR FORCE!
