Re: Greetings from Afghanistan!!
Just an update on how its going in Afghanistan. Very busy to say the least. The weather is definitely starting to warm up. It went from freezing my balls off to skin cancer from the sun over night. So far I've travelled to Kabul and Kandahar. One of which was by convoy because (I'm sad to say) that my Air Force is pretty undependable for personal travel. If you need something blown to pieces, no prob. If you need a flight, go elsewhere. Here's to the Canadians. They hooked us up with a flight in our time of need. Cheers. I've learned a lot about what we are here for, and although I was reserved at first about our intentions, I have developed a lot better feeling seeing some of the things we are doing here. Things aren't perfect of course, but I believe that the majority of people that are here ,are doing it for the right reasons. I'm not writing this to start some political fiasco, just simply stating. This has definitely been a global effort , and hats off to the countries that are involved. I hope the effort doesn't go down in vain. On that note , i have seen the caskets of the fallen soldiers from our country and others ,and it definitely makes you look at life in a different light.. Especially when you see brothers in arms from different countries that have given the ultimate sacrifice for the same cause. For the attempted improvement of the quality of life in a totally different country. My heart goes out to their loved ones. They will never be forgotten.
On a lighter note, I'm doing fine and I would really like a freaking beer for God's sakes. Geez. I will try to upload some photos when I can find some bandwidth capable of doing so. Once again Thanks for the support guys and i will stay in touch when i can. Tschuss.
