Delayed Allready

I had to muster this morning at OH MY God dark thirty and I woke up to Rain COLD rain and much clouds. So they kept us in all of our battle gear waiting around to get the word about flights. After sitting around for what seemed like an eternity they graciously at 0730 told us to go get something to eat, that all flights today are delayed so I have to muster back in 2 1/2 hours and we will try it again. Hope today is the day I start my trip, say some prayers and wish me luck.

Well so begins my journey home, I have to muster in the morning in full battle rattle to catch a convoy to the airport. Then hopefully catch one of 2 flights tomorrow trying not to get bumped for ammo, mail, supplies, and other people ultimately more important than me.  So hopefully the trip is good and make it the first leg tomorrow, then no more than a day or two at that stop and on to the big clearing house of Kuwait. My journey can take as little as 3 days and up to as much as 14 days to get home depending on flights and weather. So to all my friends and family wish me luck and hopefully I will see and talk to you all soon enough.

Hey Babe,  I would be honored to come speak at your school. I really appreciate that you mentioned what I am doing to your class and your teachers. We need to make sure that people understand what we are doing in Afghanistan and that we are making a difference. I miss you and I love you very much. Hopefully I will see you in a few weeks.

Hey Dad

Hi daddy it's Shannon. I wanted to know if you would mind coming into my school for a day during your break. In social studies we were asked which two countries are changing their government, and of course since you told me about the Taliban taking over the Afghan government, I told my teacher that you taught me that. So I had an idea that you could come in to talk about how Afghanistan is different from America. My teacher said that would be great if you wanted to do it. So i was hoping you could. I miss you and I love you!

Some miscellaneous pics

OKAY, I'm slacking a little ~ OK a lot on the posts and pics that I've promised Kevin. So here are a few random shots from Thanksgiving, Christmas at the Boeglins and soccer.

Merry Christmas

Greetings from frosty Afghanistan. First of all I hope that this finds everybody well and feeling good and blessed for the holidays. Thanks to everybody who has sent me anything since I've been here, it is really appreciated.  I worked today of course, just another day here. I will have to get up in the morning and send in a couple of mandatory reports and then the rest of the day should be mine. Hopefully the Italian Priest will come tomorrow, he is scheduled to be here at 1000. I would like to go to mass, I'm getting used to mass in Italian. I will tell you it doesn't really feel much like Christmas other than it being cold.  This is a picture of me and DR. G, we are in the Afghan hospital ICU. Doc G is who i hang out with most of the time, he is our physician mentor and an ER doctor stationed in Jax, FL. Merry Christmas everybody! To Sheila and the Girls, I love and miss you very much and I'm sorry that we are not together. To the rest of my friends and family I miss each and every one of you, have a great Christmas and thanks for everything.
