them was featured on the Army Knowledge login page the other day - it’s

through on their way to another place I cover.  They weren’t expecting

pockets and trucks and drove away.  I’ll be checking in on them next

grateful, so from them, thank you!

I’ll continue to be here in Eastern Paktika Province until probably late
February 2010.  I know CH J replacement will be here soon and I’m
looking forward to meeting and working with him.  Once again, thank you!

Blessings,
Troy
