All:
It is windy and getting a little cold but here I am in FOB Dwyer in Afghanistan with a WiFi connection from the base, and using it in my tent. Anyways, I will take it and use it to say howdy to the fellas on the 24. For some reason I cannot see pictures when people post them. That sucks because I was going to live my hunting season this year through you guys, who get deer.
Hope all is well. Due to us going to River City(blackout) a lot, I dont know when I will be on again. There is a lot going in this part of the country. That is all that I can say.
All the best...

God-speed,Brother. Think about you every day.

I second what has already been said. We should ALL count our blessing because of folks like you. As has already been said, thank you for serving. That makes you a cut above.

Good to hear from you. Be safe. Let me know if you find yourself in Kabul. An old buddy of mine (retired Marine Colonel) is working there as a contractor. I'll put you in touch. He'll bend your ear talking guns.
