Milblog: A Year in the Sandbox
I’ve been pretty bad about updating my blog lately, so I’m just going to post pictures from the last month or so to catch up, then I’ll start writing again.
One of our SECFOR guys making sure the zombies don’t get us.
Stopped for a pee break in Sherzad.
These kids were trying to sell us some hash.
New toy, a MaxxPro Dash. These MaxxPros suck sooo bad. They were designed for urban operations and have very tight suspensions. When you go off-road you feel every little bump. And by feel every little bump I mean your head gets jammed into the ceiling.
Beautiful day to be in the turret.
LT chatting up the locals.
Cargo donkey.
There are big shiny metal balls hanging from the .50.
School assessment.
River valley below the school.
Kids shooting slingshots at a Gatorade bottle.
Kids and their slingshots. I bought one for $1.
Clinic at Torkham Gate.
Another clinic in Mohmand Dara.
Kid with a tooth infection. Doc gave him some Motrin and antibiotics.
Got a little too close to the edge.
It looks much worse than it really was…
Figuring out the best way to unfuck the truck.
Reid in the turret.
A whole lot of sexy.
Thank you for these photos...pictures say so much.
