During the fall of 2002, tens of thousands of American troops were stationed in Kuwait and Saudi Arabia, waiting for a war nobody was sure would come at all. This is the story of one such soldier. Specialist Hoffman is crazy, and he knows it. But that's not enough to get him out of the desert. His roommate extended his orders because he enjoys the extra combat pay. His other roommate is an aircraft mechanic, assigned to a tank maintenance facility due to an ancient clerical error. Together, the three experience some hilarious adventures while waiting for war.
