Out Where?

Ok so turns out that we are pretty damn near digging foxholes in some remote part of the desert. Just days after we arrived in FOB Marjah, which is located in south central Afghanistan we got the word that a convoy was on its way to pick us up. Within a half hour we found ourselves in Combat Outpost Turbett, where the Marines tell us we'll never want to leave. You may be surprised to hear that after a week of firefights and IEDs that Dan and I didn't want to leave, despite the lack or showers and air-conditioning. There is something special about Turbett. Maybe its the fresh pancakes delivered to us on our first morning by the Explosive Ordinance Disposal team, or the fact that we spent hours on patrol and that every one of us returned safely or maybe it's the general feeling in the air. It's kind of like that saying that you can do any job as long as you work with the right people.
We've sent several dispatches to KVAL.com today, so please check out their website to get the full stories.
In a few days we'll head south to another outpost and the rumor is that we'll be staying in a mansion previously owned by a drug lord. We'll see...
