Happy belated Canada Day everyone, this post was supposed to be posted yesterday but like all things in the army, change happens often and unexpectedly. Yesterday we were supposed to have Canada Day Celebrations at the KPRT, its a day to have fun, have a big BBQ and even get 2 more beers. This was supposed to be a welcome vacation for us seeing we have been going at it quite hard of late. But as we expected we did not get our day off, our BBQ or our Beer. Apparently there is a war going on and some of us have to keep doing our thing. 
Day break just before stepping off.
This photo was taken off the screen from the remote weapon system. While scanning his arcs my buddy spotted me and snapped a pic of the screen. I like this photo because it has kinda a western era feel to it.
Has anybody seen an Improvised Explosive Device? I'm sure it's here somewhere!
The view from a tower looking out into barren land. 
The harsh realites of driving in some parts of this country. The sand and dust can be seriously intense.

Do you have to wear a mask for the dust?
ReplyDeleteNo, we just breath it, its kinda fun.....apparently all masks have been reserved for countries overly paranoide about the swine flu.....shoot.
