For Your Viewing Pleasure

Mark sent me some pictures of their convoy from Kandahar to Camp Leatherneck. To clarify and confusion...I used to think a convoy was a vehicle, and it actually the act of all of the trucks moving and following each other. Sorry the spacing is all goofy.
















This is a town they passed. It is at the base of the mountain/hill. If you squint hard, you can see it.




To the right, is a picture of a couple of locals. Taken as they passed through a city.














To the left, is a MRAP. Mark was in the truck following, which was a fuel truck. A MRAP is a truck that is intended to withstand explosions.












This one is pretty self explanatory. Gotta get from here-to-there some way!
















I love this one. It is a picture of all the trucks that were following one
another. Look how many! No wonder it took so long to get there, so much traffic!







This is a picture of the inside of the truck that Mark was in.


In this last one, from L to R, Mark or "Pound", Stinson, Castor, and Dion. They all call each other by their last name- it's a military thing.

Random tidbit- The guy on the far right is on leave right now. He is the first one to take leave, and is expected back soon. His wife had a baby while they were in training, so he went home to see his new family. Sad, but happy all in one.

In case anyone is curious, 74 days until Mark leaves Afghanistan for leave. About 11 weeks! It'll be here before we know it!
