God go with you Jason, and "THANKS"
for your service and sacrifice for a free Afghanistan and a free America. I appreciate what you're doing and . . . by the way:
"Get some" for this ol' Navy CTI!!
 | Typical public market . . . it's not that much different from those I saw in Guatemala and El Salvador |
 | Making friends with a "local" in the marketplace. |
 | Jason touching the merchandise. |
 | Troops getting ready to jump into action. |
 | Jason standing guard duty. . .the most boring of duties, unless there's an attack on the compound. |
 | Looks like an M60 -- throws a lota lead real fast at the enemy! |
| An eerie night sky. . . . |
 | Soldiers' barracks. . .notice the air conditioners trying to keep the Afghan heat down to a low boil inside those canvas tents. |
 | Hitting the rack for some well-deserved rest. |
 | It sure ain't Charmin . . . notice the "bumpy" surface, ensuring a "non-soft 'n non-smooth" wiping experience. |
 | A country estate? It looks like adobe construction to me -- it works just fine in Mexico with its dry climate -- and it lasts almost forever in dry climes. |
 | All the children of the world are cute and cuddly -- no matter the culture |
 | For those fortunate enough to have a propane stove to cook on, here's where they get their gas. |
 | At the crossroads of time with respect to transportation: the old "meets" the new. . . . |
 | Not everyone has money enough for motorized transport. |
 | This is as close as you ever want to get to one of these smelly, evil-tempered, biting and spitting animals. |
