Mike made it to Afghanistan! He has been at Camp Phoenix in Kabul for the past week and will be leaving for Konduz (his final destination) tomorrow morning via helicopter or plane. He is already packet and will sleep in his uniform since he has to be ready by 5am. He said there are troops from all over there, he recognized France and Bulgaria only by their English labels. There is even a Virginia Tech section, who knew there would be Hokie fans over there.
He is still dealing with the side effects of the small pox vaccine that he got: insomnia, malaise, myalgia, headache, dizziness and mild fever. Here are some pictures of his adventures so far.
Our last American meal on US soil.
In Kuwait where we spent a few hours trying to find a flight out. The temp when we landed was 120. It still seemed very hot in the middle of the night when this was taken.
My current home at Camp Phoenix in Kabul. 5 star ratings...
The VT area
(Good to see we have Hokie fans in Afghanistan)
The Romania area
The French area
The bunker we had to spend a few hours in last night when the TB attacked our Camp. Just a suicide mission on their part.
