One Month in the Stan

Disclaimer:  Please don't post these pictures anywhere else on the internet.  They are fine here for family but not outside this closed group.  Thanks in advance for your help!!!

It has almost been one month and things are going great.  Wanted to post some pictures here to let you share in the experience.  Have a great day.

#1 - On a mission.  Before climbing in to take off, some other Blackhawks flew in as well.
#2 - Me after my very first flight in Afghanistan
#3 & #4 - The mountains here are quite beautiful.  Some of the most fantastic landscape I have seen.]
 #5 - My friend Dallas from church and me at Bagram Air Force Base.  Our picture taker caught us laughing together.

On the Way...

 Many thanks to the Gale family for letting me stay with them for a few days before I deployed. 

          I started college with my friend James and we have followed each other around in the Army.  Thanks James for all you are doing for our unit at home.

Got to have a hooah picture for deployment...

Fellow pilots in Bravo company.   Kingsmen roll together.

My friend RJ is coming with us, grateful to have him around. 

0345...time to head out to the airplane.

Not a bad plane ride...

Can't beat stopping in the Vaterland.  Had some great German discussions and, as you see below, hanging out time with Kingsmen...

The complete Bravo company crew on this flight...looking tough.

Standing in line with friends Brian and RJ.
