Another classmate swings through Bagram...

Peek-a-boo, where are you? We are exploring my camp, Camp Dragon. Ryan got me to finally walk around and see what is along the perimeter here. Since the rocket strike, I had been a bit weary about exploring to far from home. But in the light of day, we explored the fenceline of where the battle took place.
Then we got to jump up, and I mean you need a step ladder, into these huge MReps (that is what they call them). Classmates, mechanics, at Camp Atterbury were always talking about these rigs that they work on. Look how large the tires are!

Ryan just got his hair cut for the trip to Kabul, we are in the little New Zealanders area of my camp here. The green rig is one of the NZ soldiers trucks, see the fenceline (perimeter) in the background, we are only about 400 ft. from my b-hut.

Thank you Ryan for taking me exploring all over the base, I was more than happy to spend time running from PAX (passenger) fixed wing terminal to PAX helo terminal with you, getting you to where you had to be. So psyched you got to take a helo outta here, what an experience! Be safe in Kabul (pronounced Ka-bull, not Ka-bool) I know your talent won't be wasted!
