This makes it much easier to decide to get out of the work force and kick back.

So, how is everyone enjoying the new gate schedules? As I sit here, everyone that comes in is complaining about how long they have had to wait to get on the base. I'm hearing of wait times of over 1 hour.

Just heard a report that traffic on Hermanville, coming in gate 3 was backed up past the Greenbrier neighborhood.

Let's hear your stories.

At 650 this morning it was backed up on Hermanville, not quite to the neighborhood but a ways back.

It's going to be rough, however I get paid to be at work, so no big deal.

I live about 8 miles away. I left my house at 7:32. By the time I parked and sat down to work it was 8:22.

At 0730 I had to wait about 5 minutes inside of Greenbrier just to get on to Hermanville. From there it was ~25 minutes to 235 and another 30 to get to work. My usual 7 minute commute took an hour today.

That is crazy. I have never seen traffic that BAD.

Wow... you could pratically commute the D.C. in that amount of time...
