I am at my new home!

I arrived at FOB Gardez today and got the first view of my new home. I am just getting settled in and will update you soon on my new digs....can you say "mud brick castle"?
Here are some pictures from my flight here, and any of you who have flown in a Blackhawk in Afghanistan during winter know that I froze my ass off. The mountains are amazing.

This Isn't Iraq

I am not sure what my first clue was, it could have been the mountains or the 6+ inches of snow on the ground. I am currently in Kabul, the capitol of Afghanistan. The city is in a valley with mountains surrounding it. It is a much different environment than the one I came from.





I also had a fight with the bunk bed, as you can see, I lost.

Here is a link to a USDA Video on the work we did in Iraq. I talk about the things that we did in Diyala.

Now you can keep up with my life in Afghanistan!

Updates coming soon.
