They sent me to Afghanistan for christmas. The bastards!!

I figured that I would put a blog together to show some of my pictures from Afghanistan since it's a country that most have never been too. A majority of the pictures are from OEF IV, and also a few from OEF X. I'm currently serving my last tour in OEF XII but do not have any pictures from this trip.

I've been asked several times where the most beautiful places in Afghanistan are. Here's the list of my favorite places in Afghanistan.

OK, so we started out about 7 in the morning. Our driver took us to an cemetary called Shohada-ye Salehin which is near the outskirts of the city. We wanted to start at the fortress Bala Hissar, but apparently, even though we drove by it, our driver didn't seem to care what we wanted to do. Anyway,…

The flight from Dubai to Kandahar was a short hop only about 2.5 hours and really not much to talk about for the flight.  My flight attendant was cute and the Diet Coke I had was really small.  Those were the only two real highlights from the flight.     We circled over …

Today I found out a close friend's father has cancer.......this among other tragedies & blessings has happened throughout the year of 2008. Somehow 2008 has been a culmination of a lot of things for me personally...a year of joy, sadness & turmoil at some point.   There were a few pe…

I've made two trips to Afghanistan and enjoyed the first one.

6 weeks in Afghanistan for work.... I'll bring you my best photos; mostly from the air....

My time in A'stan isn't really 'traveling', but it has still been an exciting, interesting, and memorable experience. Unfortunately, I don't get to go 'sight seeing', but I do work with Afhgans from all over the country and get to experience a bit of their culture. The level of hospitality always amazes me, people with virtually nothing will offer all they have, just to be hospitable. Obvious exceptions aside, the people here are kind and interesting.

Bring cash, a spare liver and a gun.

Been around a bit this year
