So, that is a real high speed group of ANP soldiers. These are some of the soldiers that we have been training for the past 11 months. They are a good group of guys, and take to the training well. They are always excited to see us and do some new training. One good thing about doing the training is that they usually feed us lunch if we are there. As you can see, we had some lunch the other day and it was tasty. It was real simple, just rice, bread, and potatoes. They Afghanis just got done celebrating Eid, which is a big holiday for them. It is a 4 day celebration, kinda like Christmas or Easter for us. They kill sheep, eat alot, and just chill out for a while. But, things are back to normal for us and them. We are getting ready for Christmas here, and I have a bunch of stockings to put together for the platoon. We have gotten an overwhelming amount of support for the holidays and beyond. It is so great to know people are supporting us over here. I will get lots of pictures for everyone to see, and I heard that Santa Claus will be making a special stop here. We heard he will be coming in by helicopter with gunship support. We definitely do not want ol St. Nick getting shot down or anything bad like that. Well, a very Merry Christmas and happy holidays to you all. I need to go prep some gifts, so enjoy, and more to follow in the near future.
