FOB Smart at 1115 - Monday
This morning we completed a mounted combat patrol (MCP) with a dismount (foot patrol) to observe progress on the completed Spin Garbage Canals. The work comprised canal cleaning, certain of various repairs, building and/or or rebuilding of stone masonry structures used to divert or redirect water flows, and certain use of gabion baskets to also act as barriers or impediments. The portion of the canals we observed included only cleaning, which was observed and confirmed this morning. I felt like I could have patrolled for hours more, but the mission was not to walk the entire length of the seven kilometers today. We rolled out in two MAX Pro MATVs and two MATV Cougars - awesome vehicles and awesome firepower.
I have been working with my pay agents on processing contractors' invoices for payment. I have more of such work to work through today. I have to say that enjoy every aspect of my mission here, including the contract administration, which is where I hope to end up spending the majority of my time in the future back home.
I spoke briefly with my wife earlier before our mission. She and my son were getting ready for bed and had ended another pleasant day. Summer is slowly creeping into the Pacific Northwest, so I am certain that they will soon be enjoying a little swimming and BBQ.
143, K&K.
Good night and good day.
