Braggistan fuzzy backed catapillar
Nothing prepared us, not even the in depth high speed in country brief, for the sudden but sort of gradual onslaught of the DREADED Braggistan Fuzzy Catapillar. It strikes without warning, usually after missing particular elements of field sanitation, mainly shaving. Once it establishes itself, there is no small amount of pain in removing one.
Some catapillars are fuller than others.

After enduring some itching and scratching while the little critter settles in, it is not so bad. From what we understand, in Afghanistan you are less of a man if you do not have hair on your face. Luckily, here in Braggistan we got a little extra help.
