Nothing much new...

Not much new here. I guess the highlight was going to the embassy the other day for lunch and coffee with one of our 3 letter agency representatives. It was very nice to get away and pretend to be a human being for a while. We had Afghan food which was very good and spent about 2 hours sitting by the embassy pool just eating and relaxing. It was really needed. I realized I had only been out of the walls of this place 2 other times in 8 weeks.

As for the job, I am the officer-in-charge of Regional Command East and Regional Command Capital for my office. Which means I am in charge of keeping track and knowing everything that happens in about 1/3 of the country including Kabul. It is a whole lot of stuff and very active. I am losing almost 1/2 of my team this week so it will be very, very interesting to see what happens. If you would like to know more about ISAF (International Security Assistance Force) which is who I work for, you can go to www.nato.int/isaf This will give you an idea of what we are doing here.

I will write more later.

Jason,

So the intel officer finally gets to go someplace smelly. I guess I should take that back. You were in Nebraska, after all. Anyway, Tricia asked me for your command address for the school books. That way we can send them for free. Also, if you need more than 35 we could probably come up with that. Anyway, I can't really type more now, but I'll try to later. Gotta go make dinner. Durka, durka!

P.P.S. The "word verification" it's making me type in is "Virgin" No lie.
