AF Day 087

FOB Smart at 0730 - Tuesday

Wow, the morning here today was beautiful, albeit a little humid, and the brisk "walk" we had through downtown Qalat was filled with unique smells and a current of humanity. I was glad for the mission and for its end and return to the FOB. I have another mission to come later, but now it is breakfast time at the DFAC and I think maybe pancakes and bacon sounds good.

I spoke with K&K as they were sitting down for dinner in Washington. I spoke with my brother, Blake, and his beautiful wife and my dear sister-in-law, Jilly Bean, as they were leaving El Paso after saying farewell to their son, Leyton, who joined the U.S. Army and is leaving tomorrow morning for boot camp in Georgia. Funny enough, Jilly Bean also dropped me off on my way to basic training over 20 years ago. My-my how time flies.

143, K&K.

Good night and good day.
