Another deployment done

This deployment was really cold at first.  It was like sitting in a deer stand for days at a time.  You can see I have a blanket over my legs.

This is what we had for a restroom.  You put a wag bag, basically like a trash bag, in the center.  Then you close the top and do your business.  It was better than the alternative of pooping in a bucket. 

 Here are some piles of "grass" that we decided needed to be burned instead of being sold to pay for the bad guys new toys.

 Here I am on a hilltop scouting for a position to possibly use later.

 This is me about to start making diner.

 I'm a tiger, "roarrrr."

 Their standards for bridges are not as high as those in the states.  Makes crossing with a heavy pack a fun experience.

 I was somewhat of a drifter this deployment, but this is the team that I worked with most of the time.

 This is what my job really comes down to.  The screen in front of me is covered in hay, like what I am sitting in.  People walked within a few feet of the hole and didn't realize that it was not just hay behind it.  I have my ghillie top on, and am waiting and watching an area that had been a hotspot for enemy activity.

 Here is me getting my brand.  You can see how great it felt by the expression on my face.

 Here is my fresh branding.  I guess that I am livestock on the double "S" ranch.

 This is me giving one of my buddies his brand.  I was really enjoying myself from the looks of it.

 These are the tools of the branding trade.  You can see that it is quit affordable to do.

Look how pretty.  Yeah, that is poppy, the stuff they make heroin out of.
