When you are in the military on your way back home from Iraq, the airplane was full of Marines thinking about the family and friends we hadnt seen for months, the hours seem endless. This was a plain full of Marines, over 300 of us flying from Kwuait to California with 4 layovers along the way. The flight attendant crews (we had 3 different ones) made jokes the whole way through, making the flight a little less tense. When one of the attendants over the loud speaker asked if we were cold needed the heat adjusted she would be glad to set it to 140 degrees for us...
The best part was when one of the crews was doing the safety brief, they selected a few of the Marines in the airplane to act out as flight attendants while the crew member narrated... these male Marines, rough and tough from months of war and heat got to get up there and pretend to be flight attendants, it was hilarious to see them act femininish... they kept messing up on the flotation device ect... the whole crew was great that flight as if our exitment of coming home was contagious to them.
