Back in Business

Once the Eid al-Ahda celebration was over, we started getting patients again. We've had several GSWs come in, mostly to the lower extremities. The taliban like to scare people by shooting them in the legs and arms for some reason. We had a Polish Hind attack helicopter crash just outside the perimeter the other day. Thankfully, there were no major injuries. I have a picture here of the Hind after they brought it in. Everything is still going well. It is starting to get a lot colder here. I have also posted some pictures of the mountains with the snow on them. I think it won't be much longer until we have some significant snow here. I appreciate all the packages that have been sent to me. I got one from ECM the other day that had a whole bunch of fruit roll ups in there. Those were very good! I also appreciate the wool socks (I use them to keep my feet warm when I run the perimeter and at night). I also love the Tennessee sweat shirt! I don't wear it except at night since the bright orange may attract a sniper since you can see it a mile away! Just kidding, but not really. The food has been great here, but I don't think I will eat at a buffet when I get home for a long time. I also miss metal silverware and real plates. I also put a picture in here of us transporting a patient to the Medivac Blackhawk. As you can see, we use a gator that has a litter carrier on the front of it. They say they are going to get us an HMMWV (Humvee) ambulance since it is getting colder, but we haven't seen that yet. Anyway, thats all for this post!
