Nov 3 update

I do have some pictures. I will try to send you some pictures.

Ramadant is over. There was a lot of shooting in TK. That's what Afgan people do when they want to celibrate. The Forward Surgery Team operated on a boy that was shot in the back dering the celebration. Need less to say we stayed away from that mess.

Spent most of my Day down on the flight line today trying to send out cooking equipment to the out lying fobs. But wasn't able to get any of the cooking eq. on the 47's. (see http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/systems/aircraft/h-47-pics.htm) One broke down so that didn't help.

The ANA are going to have to start cooking for themselves. They don't have any good cooks. I expect the ANA food to go down in quality. So they are going to have poor pay and poor quality food.

Today was the first of the 3 day holiday. The ANA had a drummer and the soldiers Danced the National Dance. I didn't get to go to the celebration because I was getting mail on the 47's for some of the soldiers at the out lying fobs.

I Have less the 45 Days before I get to come home on leave for Chrismas.


Thanks,

Mark Wilson
