Well today I started out my morning by going out on my first dismounted (walking) patrol. This was going to be my first time off the COP. I was really excited because this is what I have been training for. So we left and we started walking and its rocky hills to the left and right of me and lots of dirt. I was a little sad at first cause I wanted to see the Arghandab River and the orchards and things like that. not 5 minutes later we get to the top of this little hill and BAM I looking over the Arghandab River Vally, It was gorgeous. I didn't take my camera out with me on this mission because i wanted to get the feel of going out on patrol. I will definitely take my camera next time!! Once we go to the village we were going to we meet a local. He started talking to the patrol and he invited us to come to his home for some Chi tea. At this point i was super excited I actually got to go into a locals home and drink Chi with him...pretty cool. After that we walked back to the COP and that was that. I should be getting my wifi in my room tomorrow so i will hopefully most pics in the next day or so.

ReplyDeleteToo cool, follow the rules. Bring a small present for the home owner next time, pencil, pen - present it using both hands.
