AF Day 177

FOB Smart at 2215 - Monday

Monday night and the week has already restarted and work have once more renewed. It is still the time of the Afghan Eid holiday, so no work will be performed again until maybe Thursday. This means more paperwork and catching up, but I am not complaining.

Today I completed an MCP into south Qalat to perform a site assessment on a potential project. We had fun walking across hills and ravines, or wadis, and enjoyed the barren desert scenery offered. The traffic along the main highway was light and even less people were around, although we were outside the city limits and did not expect too many people out there anyway. Maybe we'll get the chance to perform more of these site assessments. I like them especially since they are quite similar to what I did before I came to work for the US Army Corps of Engineers and feel very comfortable performing them.

I spoke with my son this evening, which was his early morning, and loved the way he said goodbye. I love the way he says everything anyway, but today's was especially warm and loving to me. I have less than 38 days until I see him again!

143, Kaesen.

Good night and good day.
