Adventures of a NATO Soldier in Afghanistan from Oct. 2009 to Oct. 2010. Dog ‘n’ Krud. 2009/12/10 – 18:24. Flag half-mast for a fallen soldier. A Moment of Silence for Remembrance (Veterans) Day. USFOR-A Operation Enduring Freedom. Maj John and I give stuffed animals to hospital patients. Say hello to our Advanced Taliban Warning System (ATWS). Oh man, I need a shower. Lots of interesting candy around the office. A chicken was hung by the chimney with care. A hut decorated for the Christmas Season. IR...

Adventures of a NATO Soldier in Afghanistan from Oct. 2009 to Oct. 2010. 2009/10/18 – 04:27. As tired as we all were, it was hard to sleep through a military (C-17) jet doing a combat landing in a war zone. It was weird enough sitting in full battle rattle along the side facing inward with no windows to see what was going on, but I will forever appreciate the relatively benign, smooth landings experienced on commercial flights. Go USAF! The mountains of Afghanistan. Artillery left by the Soviets in 1980s.

Adventures of a NATO Soldier in Afghanistan from Oct. 2009 to Oct. 2010. Welcome to NCBC Gulfport. 2009/09/03 – 02:08. We dined under a nearly full moon overlooking the marina which had more than two dozen shrimp boats and lots of fish jumping to catch bugs. But, back to reality of training. My next post will be after we’ve flown on a C-9 to South Carolina to begin the final few weeks of hands-on training. Until then, I’ll keep running in my Navy PT gear and New Balance 1063 shoes. T-minus six days….

Adventures of a NATO Soldier in Afghanistan from Oct. 2009 to Oct. 2010. Oh, Cannonball…. 2010/01/15 – 20:31. Happy New Year 2010 Western world! Hail and Farewell for Maj. John. Flat tires on the Soviet BRDM2. Me and a Soviet tank in the graveyard. Perhaps we should’ve swept the area for landmines before taking these photos? Interestingly, any children of these refugees born in the last thirty years don’t even know their home in Afghanistan, yet they are Afghan citizens per the MoA. The team really bonde...

Oh Canada, we run real hard for thee. Where's the massage table, I'm exhausted. Here’s a fictitious play by play:. ANNOUNCER 2] : Holy Landmine, Frank!

Emergency Protocol 417: June 2007
http://emergencyprotocol417.blogspot.com/2007_06_01_archive.html
Wednesday, June 27, 2007. Life Goes On.and On.and On. Well, long time, no post. Perhaps it is because my life has been a whirlwind of adventure and activity since about the 28 th. For those of you know the overblown turmoil that I encountered in March, this is a direct, unexpected, exciting outcome to those events, proving that however bad something may be, it all happens for a reason. My work permit and visa are in hand. My condo in D.C. is under contract, in what. I want to leave on August 14 th. Peopl...

Emergency Protocol 417: March 2007
http://emergencyprotocol417.blogspot.com/2007_03_01_archive.html
Wednesday, March 28, 2007. Somewhat like Blanche Dubois. I have always depended upon the kindness of strangers. However, I have also depended upon the kindness of good friends. As Sonic so gently reminded me (as has Pursey, and Piet, and CD, in his own enigmatic way), in my blogging experience, I have depended on the kindness of both;friends, strangers, and strangers whom I have never laid eyes upon, but have become, well, friends. Have gotten back into a semblance of good spirits. Jack on Shore Leave.

Epistemology in the New Age. Paved with Good Intentions. 8220;The road to Hell is paved with good intentions” is a warning against fooling ourselves into thinking we’re even an inch closer to building a better world by planning to do good. Only our actions toward that goal matter in the end. They could do no harm. What makes these things especially frightening to me is that they so often lack any malice behind them. The New Agers I’ve known have been some of the most caring and compassionate people...
