December on the Tour

I can't believe it is December already. Time really flies when you are outside the wire...just like it did in Afghanistan. Inside the wire isn't too bad either...we got internet in our rooms, at $85 a month, but was worth it to see Kellee and the boys on the webcam. The connection was pretty slow, but it was bettan nothing. Thanksgiving here wasn't bad. The DFAC put on it's usual top-notch spead. We had all the traditional food...even seconds and thirds if you wanted. We took the day off..it was our first real day off since we've been over here. It was nice to give the guys a whole day to not do anything.
We just came back in from checking out the 2nd BN border forts. We found much of the same things that we did in the 1st BN area. We sense a lot more corruption in 2nd BN than in 1st. We'll see how that goes. It's hard to believe that if you have a border fort or annex every 500 meters, and they have inter-locking fields of vision, that smugglers and insirgents still get through. the only way that I can think of is that some of these guys are on the take. That is not secret information wither, it is just my personal opinion. We'll see what happens as the months progress.
So now we plan the next trip to BDE HQ's to tell them of our adventures. We also have to head to another FOB to get some add-ons to the MRAP's. Shouldn't be a big deal. It will be another stop on the T-Shirt Tour!!! Take care and Go Stillers!!!!!
