About Me

My Photo
I am a LCDR in the USN with 14 years of service. This is going to be my 1st tour to Afghanistan, and I want to use this as another way to keep in touch with family and friends back home. I also want to thank my wife for her unbelievable support during these last 14 years -- the families are as courageous as the Soldiers or Sailors going to war.

Beauty in an Otherwise War Torn Country

The winter months are starting to roll into Afghanistan, and we got to see a rare sight.  The mountains were crystal clear and the snow was amazing to see.  I spend a majority of my day monitoring the war in this country, however, it was an interesting change to see how beautiful the landscape here can be.  We spent the better part of an hour enjoying the sights and the cool weather.  It was a nice change of pace.

Enjoying the cool weather and the awesome view!

The air is usually pretty dusty...seeing the mountains like this is pretty rare.

Amazing to suddenly see snow on the mountains.
