Starting to get ridiculous

Well, I have good news and bad news.  It's all fun and games with KBR and the military.  Since I can't seem to get out of here on a chopper, we sent a TRF to Liberty asking if we could drive the armored suburban and tag along with a military convoy that is going to liberty tonight.  KBR security at Liberty approved our request, that is the good news!  Looks like I am back on track to make it home.  Now the bad news.  Upon speaking to the military here about a convoy, they said, sorry, we have a no-expat rule, which basically means they will not escort civilians on a convoy.  WHAT?  Hold on a minute.  When did this change?  The army escorts expats here every day.  I am so close to getting angry, but what can I do?  I certainly can't hop in the family car and drive myself to the next camp on my own.  Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
