All right everyone, here it is. In the morning I'm leaving Herat. In 2 days I'll be at my new home. A place NE of here called Bala Murghab. We'll be the first US Forces to set up in the area. We'll be working with the ANA and ANP (army and police, respectively).

I'll be there for the rest of the tour. I won't have phone or internet for I don't know how long. So, if I am able to, I'll get messages to Danielle for her to post for me.

We'll be pretty busy once we get there, setting up a patrol base. Once we get set up, we'll start operations and time will definately fly by. By that logic, I'll be home before you know it. By the way, today is the 200th day of my mobilization!

The Col. and I will be setting up a clinic for the troops. There'll be approz 15 US and around 25 Italian. Other than that, 1 kandak each of ANA and ANP. A kandak is roughly the size of a company.

So, in the meantime, ya'll take care of my girls and I'll be seeing you before ya know it!!

PROST!!!!!
