OK here is the day that i was leaving Mar 1st /08 its was a very sad day my last tour was in 2000 and this being my 6th tour overseas. Noah my son was not born yet. My daughter was 3-1/2 along with Tammy being 4 months Pregnant with Noah in there.
here we are at 04:45 am showing up for a timing.

this is us being goofy trying not to think about me leaving




mins before leaving

this is me in KAF 42 hours later with 2 hours sleep

my room that i saw for a total of 10 days in the 7 month tour that i had, i slept on the ground or a cot


Me and my buds 2 weeks there in one of the places that I can't name its his Birthday so i gave him a semi hug.

here are some landscaping pictures




this is a huge house made out of concrete

a BC guy's DREAM LOL

this is the Afghan's kitchen out in the bush



this is 2 little ones i was just finishing a 12 km patrol and had 2 bottles of water left and thought i would give it to them since they need it more then me it was 56c that day. they were pretty happy as you can see.


this is our living conditions where I was for the last 3 months pretty gross the left is the pooper the middle was were we took showers with 2x 500ml bottles of water and the right is where we brushed out teeth

I take it you get the idea on what we used for mother nature
SORRY EDITED
