Afghanistan....so far

Thought it would be nice to put up some pictures of the lovely country side of Afghanistan. It really isn't all that bad looking when there's no excitement going on. Due to the amount of excitement I don't have nearly as many pictures as I'd like,but then again, I aint on a pleasure cruise right?                       Poppey and marijuana are their biggest "exports" I guess you could say. The drugs as well as it's profits mainly get exported to the Taliban and terrorists. You can probabaly guess what they do with the money. The big hill was built by Alexander the Great. We have a small base up there now. A small compound we took over and made into a strongpoint. We would go down there 3 days at a time. You can tell how simple/primitive we're living down there. MRE boxes for stairs, ply wood pieces and ponchos and parachutes as our shade.     ...

He's finally here!....for 2 weeks :(

Ryan arrived, only 8 hours late. Typical army! He was suppossed to arrive on Saturday, June 18th at 5:20pm. He actually arrived on June 19th at 1:39am.  Good thing I had Matt and Vicki to keep me company. We went shopping, saw a movie (in 3D), ate dinner, had 5 minutes to buy books at Barnes & Noble, and fully enjoyed the Syracuse airport. Here's how we occupied our time. Here he is! 20 pounds lighter.

Take a look at these pictures posted today. I was so excited to see these!
