Apologize to all (if there are any out there :) for the long delay between updates. I don't even have any pictures to share or stories to tell. It's more of the same 'Groundhog's Day' routine around here. Except I'm trying to cover at least three jobs right now. Leo (from the German/Netherlands Corps) went home last week and his replacement won't be in until May. Gordon (from the UK) left about a week ago as well on his 'R&R' (rest and recouperation (sp?)) trip home. He'll be out until the end of the month. Hence my 'three jobs'. On top of that, it's a continuous task to try to bring the new guys up to speed on everything.
Anyway, you've also seen in the news the well publicized (sp?) Operation Moshtarak in Southern Afghanistan. Again, to be clear, I have no direct involvment and am not in harm's way in any way :) What Op Moshtarak means to me is that there is a lot of planning (to include logistics; my piece) before, during and after any operation, especially one of this magnitude. It's also very interesting just being here, as I get to hear things (and much more detailed) just before everyone else on CNN / BBC / Al Jazeera. On top of that, there is always much logistics work to be done in support of the well publicized force expansion efforts. Anyway, definitely not complaining at all...it's what I came here to do. It also keeps your mind off of other things (whether that's a good thing or not). It also, somewhat, explains my delinquency in writing letters/emails, making phone calls or posting updates. Just my thoughts for tonight. Happy belated Valentine's Day to everyone (today was also a holiday in Afghanistan; more or less 'freedom from the Soviets day')
