Hello,

Pictures from Our Area of Operation,

This was at a school near one of the Police stations that my team is getting up and running. The little kids are like a bunch of mad bee's when it come to getting candy. I didn't have my interpreter near, I usually have them in line getting stuff one at a time, "Give them a little order" I made sure at the end that the little girl in the back got some to.

The other picture is of our interpreter and a couple of my guys, I have two terps that rotate out every week. It's quiet dangerous for them..

All is well here, the men are getting settled in. Just received about 6-7 packages from Missy and her Company Simpson Housing. Lots of good stuff, Coffee, junk food, a little of everything! I think the packages were mailed out on the 23rd, and they got here a couple days ago. SLOW! oh well, at least there's a mail service.

Missy, I'll send a thank you and a picture of my team from my team for your work soon! Thank you!

I'm planning on to handing out some of those beanie babies next week, Things are a little hectic this week around here.

I do have internet in my hooch now, I check my Army e-mails regularly.I get to talk to Carol on Instant Messenger also which is really nice.

That's all for now,, Later.. Rod
