The Last Month

May is finally upon and everyone around here is anxious to get home to our family and friends, I can say that you never know how long a year is until you spend one in Afghanistan. I've seen and experienced alot of things in my time over and because of OPSEC I can't post those things in the blog while I'm over here...nor can I post pictures of certain things. However, once I leave here my last blog will tell the stories I couldn't. What I will say is God is good and I'm thankful that I've made it this far and my unit has made it this far only losing two people.


With less than 30 days left in country, we have been very busy, cleaning equipment and turning it in so it can be shipped back to Hawaii. We still have a few teams out on the battlefield but they should be back within the next week. Days are long but this is the work thats worth it because the stuff we are doing now is what gets us home. We are scheduled to roll out at the end of this month, so hopefully we can finish all of our turn ins by mid May. That way we can just relax for our last couple of weeks, the heat has picked back up and its no fun to be out there in the sun all day.

Since this is all in the news I can post it here in the blog, several hundred inmates have escaped from a prison not far from where we are and it is believed that 5 suicide bombers are here on KAF so we are on high alert and have been advised to stay away from the highly populated areas..such as the boardwalk, gyms, and Dining Facilities. If do go to any of those places we are advised not to stay long, because we they do attack its most likely gonna be a place where alot of people are. So just pray that we can make it out of here safely and with no harm.

This should be the last blog I write from Afghanistan, the next one will come from Kuwait or Manas..depends on where they have us layover at to await our flight to the U.S.
