I am hoping this will be a running account of my experiences in Afghanistan. Having spent the last four years in Iraq, I learned I should have better chronicled my experiences there since memory fades with time. While I did keep a written diary, it was sporadic at best and really didn't convey accurately what I experienced or felt.
Currently, I am waiting to go to CRC (conus replacement center) which is where we are trained and receive our DoD physicals. I will be at CRC for six days undergoing further weapons training and theater specific orientation for Afghanistan.
I leave for CRC the 18th.
