Weekly aggregation o’ Afghan News is up. Also, if you click on the image below – please let CFC-A (Combined Forces Command – Afghanistan) know if you have seen this truck. Rumored to have been seized not by the Talib or the HIG, but by some sort of armored racoon-like creature. Something was heard about dancing too…

My son Matt the Marine called last night.
He made E-3.
Woo-hoo!

N.O – I can remember when I was an E-3. Heh, of course we used Brown Bess muskets back then… good on Matt!
Maybee – It was the most interesting place I had ever been. It was stark but beautiful, full of people that were for the most part good and many very brave and determined folks. But it was also home to some amazing cruelty and really bad things too.

Its twin is in Japan. Or maybe this one was borrowed from Japan.
The steering wheel is on the right side, and I’ve seen a matching paint job. Of course, that was in 1973. That truck is why I sold my motorcycle…
