Mike's Deployment Blog: January 2010
http://mikesdeploymentblog.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.html
Friday, January 29, 2010. Valentines Day and ANA. So the ANA don't focus on safety as much as they focus on ease. The riders on this humvee were all laughing when they went over bumps and almost got thrown off. We weren't laughing. I was about to get some work. Here is an ANA soldier hanging from a large hook. What is there to say? Valentines Balloon I got in the care package below. This is From Shannon. Though slightly ripped in transportation the feelings came through. Shannon loves this stuff. The con...

Mike's Deployment Blog: April 2009
http://mikesdeploymentblog.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html
Wednesday, April 15, 2009. There were a bunch of horny toad's around and tons of exploded bombs, empty bullet casings and mangled metal. It was a cool place and I got to shoot some really big guns. This is why I went with the marines. The top two images are all the rounds we were going to shoot at the range today. The pictures of the mangled bombs are exploded ordinance in and around the range. The whole area had these. All that we found were exploded but sometimes they aren't. Friday, April 10, 2009.

Wednesday, March 31, 2010. Here is me about to get on the plane. This picture doesn't do justice for how excited I am. I am currently residing in Manas, Kyrgystan. I stopped here on the way in you may remember. Tuesday, March 30, 2010. End of an Era. Thursday, March 25, 2010. Me looking out the back in flight. You can't see the horizon but take my word for it we were up in the air. It was a great time to say the least. Sunday, March 21, 2010. Fun in the 'Stan. Tactical grater in the background, motivated...

Mike's Deployment Blog: February 2010
http://mikesdeploymentblog.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html
Saturday, February 27, 2010. Hello friends. Yesterday, the 26th I received my FMF pin. We also took our last pictures as an ANA group. Below, our ANA training group posing for one last picture. We will disband tomorrow. We have had a good time and worked hard. Hopefully, the ANA have learned something and will be prepared to defend their nation as we (NATO and ANA) work together in the future. I certainly learned a lot and had some great experiences. I am back row 2nd on the left. OK so I am sorry it has...

Mike's Deployment Blog: November 2009
http://mikesdeploymentblog.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html
Monday, November 30, 2009. After it stopped raining for a while these beautiful cloud and light visions opened so I tried to get a good picture of them. I love the light beaming through the clouds like fingers prying them apart to let us see heaven. The panoramics I have taken are hit or miss. I think this one is more hit. The one that was more miss did not appear on the blog. A line of 53's I took some time ago. I just can't get enough of pictures of aircraft. This must be why I joined the Navy. We diag...

Mike's Deployment Blog: Osprey Trip
http://mikesdeploymentblog.blogspot.com/2010/03/osprey-trip.html
Thursday, March 25, 2010. Here is a picture of a waterway in the 'Stan. Didn't know they had that here, it is so bleak everywhere else. There were actual green areas (farms mostly) in parts we flew over. I was so surprised. This picture was taken looking out the back of the Osprey. We flew with the back open all day. Me looking out the back in flight. You can't see the horizon but take my word for it we were up in the air. It was a great time to say the least. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).
