News From Bumfuckistan

I hadn't mentioned this before, and I'm not exactly sure why, but I have a nephew who is currently stationed in Afghanistan.
He has been there several months - at his own behest. He has been a voluntary employee of Uncle Sam for quite a few years, formerly in the Army, and most recently in the Army Reserves.
He requested an overseas stint as a career move, and has already requested another when this one is up in another couple weeks.

We got news last week that his company had been in a firefight and a couple of his buds had ended up being treated for some minor wounds. He also ended up being treated for smoke inhalation and what they at first thought was a broken arm. Turns out, it was quite a bad bruise, but no break. And no bullet holes.

So like I said, his current stint is almost up, but we of course, won't totally relax until he is back.

In the meantime 'J', keep low. And thanks.

Yeah, you know who he is.

My sincere thanks for his service.
And, thanks also that he was not seriously injured.

It was a bit nerve wracking for his folks to get a call in the middle of the night.

Pass my thanks on to J as well. If he or his buds ever need mail, you know where to find me. BTW those crocheted things go over reallly well in soldier boxes. I hear they're quite the conversation starter! lol
