I arrived in my country of service on the 5th of May. The flight over lasted almost a day and a half, so I actually skipped May 4th. There was a lot of hype about landing in a combat zone, but the landing was actually kind of tame. We were told what to do if we were under fire while landing, how to react and all sorts of stuff, but the actual landing went as smooth as any commercial jetliner.
For now I'm at a temporary duty station. I'm basically getting some last minute training and am filling out paperwork and listening to briefings while I wait for my flight to my actual duty station. It's boring most of the time, honestly, but I know that once I get to my final location that the pace will pick up and things will start moving.
