In 47 days my unit starts it's demobilization process and are getting outta here!  About a week or so after that, I will be sharing posts from my home in Clearwater. Smiley

If you have the time, here are some pics:

The "welcome" sign as you enter Bagram Air Field - - not that you would want to...lol:

The camp in which I live is named after SSG Koele (KIA). The "conference center" is just an empty hooch.

Bagram Air base is surrounded by the Hindu Kush Mountains.  I tried to get a pic here, but it doesn't do them justice:

In nearby Bamyan there are historic remains of what used to be huge buddhas in the mountains. This is what's left after the Taliban destroyed them in 2001:

Howard, was activated February 2008...but I took my leave/R&R and went home for two weeks this past February.  I am proud to have served but ready to get home.

Best wishes to your son-in-law Pierre.  Chances are good that he will end up somewhere around here.

I realized I probably posted too many pics...lol...my post almost looks blinding.
