Deployment Blog: Last Days in Afghanistan!

So here I am, my last day in Afghanistan. I have been in country for just over 6 months. In that time I have made some good friends and had some great experiences. I have also learned a lot about myself and other things in this time. I have accomplished some personal and professional goal to include dropping 15 pounds to a lean mean 179lb deployment body with about, and made some life long friendships. I am starting to feel a little guilty for leaving before my original time, but cannot wait to get home to Christine and Carter. Carter has grown up way too much in pictures. Christine says his is saying "da-da" all the time now.

The next few days I will be in transit from here back to the states. I will post again once I get back and settled into Ft. Dix. I will have to spend about 10 days there before I can go home. I have to out process from active duty and such.

Here are a few pictures from my last days here. We have had a few cigars and near-beers over the past week. A couple of the others are headed home not long after I depart which is good news as well.
