Japan Pt. 1 (Food)

   This last March I traveled to Japan on R&R. I stayed mostly in Yokosuka just south of Tokyo. I will break this up into several posts. First my favorite FOOD in Japan!

My first meal and beer. This old man really knew how to cook. 
Can't wait to return for more.

Welcome to Kandahar

I have been in Kandahar for 8 months now. Here are some highlights of my time here.


The big flood. After heavy rains a levy broke and flooded the base. 
Below you can see the aftermath. 






As part of my job we provide internet service to the MWR.
Here are a couple pictures of the satellite we built.



Although I was very cold this winter we only had a couple days of snow.


The Indian's that work out here had a big party. 
Really good food.
