Ano
ther fantastic day in Afghanistan. I was quite busy this morning. For those who don't know I'm the Flight Operations LMR NCO. Basically I talk to the helicopters when they are landing and I'm in charge of all personnel / equipment that is on my flight line. I've attached some pictures today of some of the helicopters. They pilots of Jingle Air are usually Russian or Polish and they just love me. Today they let me up into the helicopter. They always take pictures with me, kind of worried about where those pictures will end up :) All the guys are really nice though and if I need anything from a base they hook me up. Can't complain I guess.

An Opportunity to Help...
If anyone would be interested in helping those less fortunate this holiday season then I've got the perfect thing for you.
Our FOB interacts with the local nationals on a daily basis. Our medics provide medical aid and we are involved in community restoration projects. One of the projects if for the village school that was hit with a grenade by a terrorist. Half the school is missing the roof but thankfully only minor injuries occurred. Due to the fact that we interact with them daily I can give them items they desperately need. Here is where you come in....
If you would like to participate please send
* used / new winter clothes (hats, scarves, gloves, etc)
* School supplies
* Children's clothes and toys
These people are very poor so anything you can donate would be appreciated. You can send it to my attention:

The blog name comes from a little joke a few of us have. We decided that it sounded more like we were going somewhere fun if we called it Afghaniland. Here are some pictures of my new home...
This is my home...
