A late Christmas...








Well, Christmas came a little late here in Kansas. Today, I took my team over to the motorpool, where I signed out two humvees and a couple of really big guns... a .50 caliber M-2 machine gun and an M-240B 7.62mm machine gun. Each goes to one of the humvee turrets. I'll be the .50 cal gunner in my humvee.

The weather got cold last night, and we awoke before dawn to heavy, wet snow coming down. By mid-morning, it was all melting and leaving a muddy mess in its wake. Not a big deal, as most of our day today was spent indors, learning how to operate communications equipment ("commo") and taking Dari language classes.
