The newest emails I have gotten:
Hi David:
We made it in last night here to Bagram, and I got the first decent
nights
sleep I have had in 3 days. We need to convoy to Kabul this morning at
10:00, so we were instructed to get our Kevlar and body armor out for
the
trip. Not what I wanted to hear, but rules are rules. Every GI here
has a
loaded M-16 or 9MM Pistol on them. Vehicles have mounted SAWs or 50mm
machine guns on them. This is the real thing. Kind of an eye opener!

Hi David:
Well, we made it finally. We had a small scare on the way up, but
everything worked out. The 3rd vehicle in our 4 vehicle convoy had a
flat
tire, so they and #4 vehicle stopped. I was in the lead vehicle, and
we
went about 5 miles with only seeing the 2nd vehicle. We finally turned
around and found them, and every soldier was out of the vehicles with
weapons locked and loaded on a perimiter around the downed vehicle.
Kind of
different, but we all made it here safe.

Everything else here in Topeka is okay. I'll try to get a new picture and bio in to you all as soon as I can.
