Hello everyone! Hope everyone is having a good weekend! I met the platoon leader I am replacing yesterday. He actually did my training at Fort Benning with me. He is an ROTC grad from Indiana University. We get along really well. Today, we discussed tactics, equipment, vehicles, etc. I got to see where he lives (I am actually staying with him), works, eats, etc. The living conditions here are extremely nice. I am very surpised. They are a lot nicer than the nasty places I had to live in while I was training at Camp Buckner at West Point as a cadet. Not too much to say about the fighting here. Not much happens in winter. My platoon will arrive in about a week. The unit we are replacing is a great unit. They really did a great job the last 9 months and had a very fulfilling deployment. My platoon will arrive in about a week. I was able to meet some Afghan Army Soldiers today. They seem pretty good. There is also a Jordian battalion staying on my FOB as well. It's pretty cool. The mountains are beautiful here. They are snow capped. It reminds me a lot of the mountains surrounding Lake Tahoe in Nevada. As always, thank you for all the prayers and support. It is much appreciated and needed.
