I don’t think anyone would accuse me of having good luck when it comes to my checked luggage making it with me on trips. I’ve had a number of suitcases driven up days after my arrival. Most recently, our luggage on our move from Japan went to Washington DC while we… went to Austin, Texas. It all worked out, mostly because of incredible people that love us and intervened to take care of us, our sweet pup, and our baggage. When I travel, I have two very big competing instincts. I am, in the depths of my soul, a human who wants to bring ALL OF THE THINGS to all of the places. But, my luck necessitates I travel exclusively with a carry on.
When Lt. Col. Baba received orders overseas to continue his work as a pharmacist, he definitely erred on the side of taking more than he needed and tossed in some expired prescription medicine. After arriving, though, he found his personal pharmaceutical stash was insufficient and decided to just… take what he thought he needed.
I relied on the ACCA opinion.
I referenced information about the Department of Defense COVID policies, hydroxychloroquine, Camp Arifjan, drug schedules, officer dismissals, Kuwaiti travel, and proper disposal of prescription drugs.
This episode discussed prescription drug misuse. If you, or someone you know, struggle with substance use, the SAMHSA National Helpline can be reached at 1-800-662-HELP, and their treatment locator is available online.
