Once again it has been some time since I posted anything, but I do have a valid excuse.. I have spent the last 8 months on active duty for the Montana Air National Guard, 6 of those months have been hanging out in the "wonderful" country of Afghanistan. I hope you could hear the sarcasm in my voice when I said "wonderful". As I mentioned in my last post while I was sitting in Norfolk, Virginia I was hoping to post to my blog while I was deployed, as you noticed that didn't quite work out as planned. Usually, the best laid plans never work out if you are involved with the military. The military always has their own agenda and it is never the same as what you have planned.
My career field for the Air Force is Security Forces which is just a fancy name for Law Enforcement. Being a Security Forces member means that we work 24/7, 365 days a year and of course I drew the short straw and end up on night shift. I hate night shift, at my age, my body thinks that anything past 9:30 pm is too late.

| My home for the last 6 months - Conex boxes - Nothing says home like a shipping container. |

| My half of room - What you can't see is my pile of gear on the other side of the locker. And check out my tin foil shades! |

The only good thing about night shift is that I saw some awesome sunrises while I was in Afghanistan.
I will post some more pictures in the next few days
Have a Great Saturday - I am off to the yard sales!!
