Pacquiao

Is Pacquiao the man or what? I found out that we would get an AFN (armed forces network) broadcast of this HBO match last night. The whole BAS plus some Marines huddled around a TV to see this boxing master pick apart Cotto. I am not a boxing afficiando, but I can appreciate that this man is a bad#$%. It just made my Filipino-in-law pride swell.

We had some Marines playing softball on our wonderful rock field that is surrounded by barbwire. Below are some pictures of what happens when you reach through the wire to try and retrieve a softball. This Marine must have not donw well in the game 'operation' as a child.

We did our H1N1 shot exercise this week. Everything went well. Below is a picture of me getting my vaccine.

I put in a picture of an ambulence that was in front of our BAS recently. With all the IED blasts occurring they have really up-armored all vehicles. This ambulence is no exception. They all V the bottoms of many of these vehicles to help deflect a lot of the blast. These beasts get very low gas mileage, but are probably going to be exempt from the newer mileage regulations that our current government is demanding for the future :)

Last picture is a new tailor shop that opened with the other vendors in past few weeks. I am soooo tempted to get one of these suits with a felt hat. I could be the pimp daddy of them all!







Before.














After.














HN Stein (or Stein-o-mite as we call him) giving me my H1N1.














An ambulence that even Rambo would love.











Style in Afghanistan.
