A few Photos!

Here are a few photos for your viewing pleasure. Sorry for the lack of news,we have been very busy and soon will have even less chances to get on the Internet. I will send news when I can!

Enjoy! Brent & Aggie a team not to be messed with!

Hanging out with the 10th Mountain JTAC. Feels good to know there's a B1 Bomber with a payload of over 125,000 lbs of bombs ready and willing to help out.

More mud walls and ditches...deja vue is a daily occurrence! Reggie, Rasit, Aggie & Brent early morning Me & "Lucky" Post-Op Passing through the FEBA. Passing through the FEBA, a good days work. Crossing the river. "Lucky" enjoys his new digital camera! Face to Face with Locals. L-R : "Rocky", Me, "Lucky"

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year Everyone! I am sorry I have not been able to post as often as I would have liked....but we have been busy. Rumours have it that the rainy season is going to start in a few days. Predictions of torrential rains and flash foods...thank god I got my NEOS in time (Thanks Ben, Pat & Logan!!) The good news in all of this.....weather prediction in Afghanistan is not an exact science.

Besides that things are going well, I got a few letters and packages from all of you! I promise I will get back to you shortly to send you a personal thanks! You are all too kind! The more time we spend here the stronger some of our friendships get with our American comrades. They are a great group of guys ( obviously a select few are not, but you can't let a few bad apples spoil the bunch right?).

I will leave you with a few photos from the past couple of weeks. Enjoy! New Years Day! No Patrols but Vehicle maintenance is a must! Sun rise over the open fields (No Sun = Cold Temperatures)! Rashid (Dog Handler), Aggie (Our Dog) and Doc Daniels rest during a long halt. Can anyone see the enemy? The "Dushman's" field craft and expertise of the local terrain make him extremely hard to spot. The "Real Motley Crew" - US Infantry / Canadian Infantry, PSYOPS / Turkish Dog Handler / South African Dog. I think this picture epitomizes the Multi-National Force fighting the insurgency in Afghanistan. Some days life just sucks, this photo was taken yesterday after completing a 6 hour 14 -15 km patrol. I haven't suffered like that in a really long time. ( Note Motivation Level Zero )
