One month down...

What's up...

So I'm sorry I haven't been updating this that often, but it probably doesn't matter because I don't think anybody looks at it that often. It's just hard to find time to get on the computer and when I do get a chance, I have to check my email and read Dannie's jokes in the little time that I do have.

So anyways, not much is new out here. We got a couple of rocket attacks a few days after we got here, but for the last couple of weeks here, it's been pretty quiet. You know how they say no news is good news, so I guess there is nothing but good news to report.

So now I man the vehicle checkpoint for about 6 hours everyday. It's not a bad detail- the first few days I was so worried somebody was gonna drive up with a bomb in the car, and I guess if you wanted to be truthful about it, it is one of the more dangerous (meaning exposure to the enemy) posts on the camp, but then again, this isn't Iraq. We have a good group of local Afghani soldiers on base that are good about letting us know who the bad guys are. I'll get you all some pictures of me out there on the gate when I get a chance.

Okay, that's it for now, I'll be in touch. Oh, and there used to be a little comment section on here, and now it went away. When I get a chance, I'll do some troubleshooting, because I like getting comments. Take care... and drink a beer for me!
