99 DaysI talked to S this morning and according to his super-duper excel spreadsheet he has only 99 more days in country. Wow! 11:00:59 PM | Tomorrow he leaves the special forces FOB for one farther south. The new base has no internet and no cellphone service, so he won't be able to contact me very often, probably just once a week or so via satellite phone. He will be working with marines again, who he says are highly motivated soldiers with lame-ass leadership, not unlike every other branch of the military these days. Unfortunately for S, he has to deal with their leadership all the time, planning joint missions of marines/ANA. Oh well. It's been great getting to talk to him the past couple of days. Hopefully we'll talk again in the morning before he heads out. I keep meaning to post the photos he sent me, but time escapes me these days. I've been busy busy busy. Perhaps tomorrow. |
