Thank you, Hannah. I really appreciate it - I'll make sure to pass along your thoughts and comments to the others in my platoon.

As for Ava, March 23rd was actually the 1yr anniversary of the date she was diagnosed with her cancer. Her original prognosis was very bad, but she got into a clinical trial and has been getting better and better. In the beginning, a year was unthinkable due to the condition she was in.

Update on the Mustache competition - I was picked to go in the "Molestache" category - and lost. Thankfully. lol

Tomorrow, it's gone!

The Grade Four Class of My Teacher's lead pray for you all soldiers of our country, especially your team (there is another word for that I forgot- infant soldiers). OK We also shared you to our Grade 5 students. And we included AVA that she completely heal. Keep your pictures coming. Hannah.

Thanks for sharing the pics. Looks like you got 5 Star accomodations.

The big place was in Manas where we flew in after Leipzig. We stayed there for about 3 days before we flew in-country.

Jordan :

From one Buckeye to the other , when you get out of the "Sand Pit" and possibly go back to the Columbus area(visit/leave or ?) , PM me and we'll get together in the Capital city area and the first couple rounds are on me . I'm not that far away . Stay safe and keep your head on a swivel .

BTW: When does the hot season start over there ? (Weather)

[CybrSlydr]

Snuffy - the thumb isn't blue anymore! It's just straight emo-black. lol Hurt like a bitch for about a week, but now it doesn't hurt. Everyone says I'm going to lose the nail.

C9G - thanks.

Crusader - I'm definitely going to hit up Columbus, too many friends up there to not head back for a day or so. I'll certainly look to hit you up when I get the chance. Thanks! The hot season should be starting in about a month or so. Currently it's about mid-70s during the day and low 40s at night.

Cybr,
We strung up clotheline and hung issue blankets on 'em in the isles to make for a bit of privacy.....

Hello Jordan

I was told that a thick mustache can make a good filter against sand or dust
but sometimes it's healthy to change a filter. I don't know personally any french
soldier there but if you encounter them let's give five from a Simouthouse
compatriot :salute:
If your nail doesn't hurts anymore there is chance that you'll keep it, it will turns
white while continue growing. Meanwhile if you feel it again you can try to pierce
it to extract the emo-black blood inside, you can use a red-hot needle (it hardly hurts),
for my part I succeed with a razor blade, the blood escapes followed by the pain.

I wish you to be back home entire and safe

Alain - thanks for the input! It's well past time I could do anything for it though, so I'll just have to let it grow out and fall off and regrow. -shrug- Thanks for the kind words.

Panther - I currently have my poncho liner and poncho tucked into the bed to provide some privacy in such a way.

 

[CybrSlydr]

I put up a new pic of me in my kit for ya. Not much to photograph as it's been nothing but rainy the past few days.
