Some pics from a recent mission around Helmand River. It's clear, blue, beautiful and full of God knows what. Down the cliff looking up is Henry "J" on the .50 cal overlooking the river. This was a joint patrol and one of the Brit medics was looking at a recently treated gunshot wound through a foot. We took out stitches, dressed it and gave him some meds. Last but not least, the Helmand Ferry. Hmmm! I had to watch this guy cross with the bike. I kept waiting for the inevitable tip but it never came. These people are too experienced to let it happen.
At one of the checkpoints today we came across a kid that looked about 12 but was "in the ANP" despite his lack of identification. The funny part is that he was high as a kite hash. We kept pointing him in the direction we wanted him to go and he kept wandering off. I think one of our Majors was almost ready to shoot him out of principle. The rest of us thought it was pretty funny. He failed most of the sobriety tests without even being tested.

Scotty, don't eat too much sushi and watch out for the liquor over there, it sneeks up on you. (He's in Japan doing some PhD stuff)
Yes, JP I took the book from your bunk.
