Here's a few pictures. One is of a village called Jabba Sarej where I was on those missions in the middle of nowhere. The other is the Claymore
"Anti-personell" mine. That babay had several pounds of c-4 and a couple thousand steel balls. It can cover an area 150ft long 30 ft high out to 150 feet, I "acquired" several for my upcoming mission. They keep pushing the dates back so I should have email for at least another week or so.

I am recovering from a terrible case of food poisoning, I had to have 6 bags of saline, 3 IV's and barely ate for 3 days. I ate some Afghan food, but this time it didn't agree with me. The first picture is what I ate, the second are some Afghans I mentor.

It's been the usual here, hot and dirty but still in a twisted way, still fun. I should be home on leave in October sometime for about two weeks so I'll make sure to bring all 1450 pictures I have and then some. Here's a picture of the "hooch" or my part of the hut we live in when we are on our base (which isn't too often) There are rumors of a 45-60 day mission so I have no idea what the conditions will be. I could use some butterfly bandages (several boxes) and children's medicine (cough syrup, tylenol, bandages, neosporin, vitamins) so that I can take care of the children when we go. By helping their children, the locals respect you and will give you information on where the scum bags are hiding. Kind of ironic, I give your kid a few vitamins, you tell me where to go to kill your neighbor...too funny.
