Greetings from the Glorious Nation of Afghanistan


Hello everyone. This is my attempt at an actual blog to keep everyone informed of my adventures here in Afghanistan. Hopefully the details that I find mundane will at least be mildly interesting to you.

For those who don't know, I am serving with the Illinois Army National Guard and deployed to Afghanistan in support of Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF). Yes, I did volunteer to deploy to Afghanistan; and for my sins they gave it to me. I am currently stationed at Camp Stone in Herat. Herat is a city in the province of Herat which is about 180km from the Iranian border. It's pretty nice here as far as the weather goes. The terrain looks a lot like Arizona. Of course, that would be Arizona without the vegetation. I could say it's a dry heat, but since it's not summer yet, I wouldn't know.
