March 08

The picture below was taken on 13 March 08 while we conducted the Change of Responsibilty Ceremony for the CSTC-A Command Sergeant Major. CSM Espinoza handed the reigns over to CSM Coleman. While we participated in the ceremony, one of the Camp Eggers convoys was struck by a suicide bomber. The up armored vehicles the Americans were travelling in saved them from serious injury. However, the insurgent cowardly suicide bomber managed to kill 8 Afghans and injure 20.

Later in the week I flew out to FOB Bastion, a British base in Helmand Province. The guy below is one of the Helmand Chief of Police's PSD.


In order to get to Bastion I had to go through Kandahar Air Field.

I took this while flying out to Wardak Province from a UH-60 Blackhawk.

The two following pictures were taken on the flight to Wardak. Both are aerial shots of Kabul.
