I know it has been a while since I posted on here. There hasn't been a whole lot of new stuff going on. I have been running on average a couple of missions a week to look at sites. That can be rewarding as we are helping to hand over the responsibility of security for the Afghans to the Afghans. Our facilities are built by Afghans for the Afghans with the US Army Corps of Engineers providing a technical expertise to the Construction Firms. I decided to post some different photos on this post as these are a little different from the Afghan countryside photos that I have been posting in the past.

Once a month I am able to use the USACE Helicopter to do flyovers of the sites that we are constructing out of my office. This is a pic of me from inside the helicopter!!


This pic was taken on a site visit. Notice the ANA soldier who is supposed to be pulling security for us while we are on site!!! Whats he watching? The back of his eyelids?



We had a mission the other day where we were going into the city and thought we were going to have to wear the clothes of the local populace. This is what an Afghan would wear on a typical day.


This is another pic of Sean and me in our "ManJams" Sean is one of the guys who works in my office. He is a really good guy... Even if he is in the Navy!!!
