Redeployment

One year ago today I arrived in Djibouti.  I should be leaving next month but the final date isn't set.  Redeployment is not nearly as complicated as getting over here in the first place. At some point towards the end of your tour you will likely get an email from whoever is supposed to be replacing you.  That begins your turnover, probably very much like you did before you got here.  The rest is Admin Magic.  There will be some kind of service component admin shop that will start the process of booking your flight out of here and most of that is invisible to you.  Over the next month I'll hit the high points and provide tips on what to expect.
