FOB Smart at 2100 - Monday
Today I enjoyed two outside-the-wire missions, a mounted combat patrol and a dismounted foot patrol, into Qalat to see my various construction projects. We encountered nothing alarming or irregular, although we certainly passed more than a few herds of sheep or goats and plenty of smiling faces from children everywhere we traveled. As we had already issued stop work notices for cold weather (no concrete pouring here after freezing temperatures begin), several were merely follow up visits and others were progress updates. Two of my projects are nearing completion and are almost ready for punch lists. I am always so very impressed with my Army and Air Force comrades who protect me while out and about.
What can I say more than all is right - right now? Here and abroad, near and far, I have no complaints. Kaesen was so sweet when I spoke with him this morning. His momma hooked up his new Smart Cycle game to play at home - he loves it and the games are educational. I also Skyped him last night - I love this more and more, especially since he is such an excellent communicator with me - most of the time.
143, Kaesen.
Good night and good day.
