The Clouds Parted
By Lt Col P
After two days of cold rain, the clouds finally parted here at Bagram. It was nice to see the mountains all covered in snow-- better news still for the local farmers, because it's been a dry winter so far.
I left Kabul on wednesday and am waiting here for my flight to Kuwait, retracing my steps of August last year. Instead of flying in, we drove. I was very much looking forward to seeing the countryside I hadn't seen, but I was thwarted by the rain and low clouds, and by the ever-muddier windows of the MRAP. (Neat piece of gear, that.)
So here I sit, having gone from sixty to zero in a matter of hours. This is all part of a necessary decompression, but I confess that I don't always wait well. Doc H preceded me by about two weeks, and is now in Kuwait.
I do have time to read, to PT, and to clean my weapons. And, thankfully, my rack doesn't squeak. :-)

The question is: did you ever get to see a Kyrgyz on a yak?
Townie-- YOU KNOW THE REASON!
GOPCC-- Some Kyrgyz, but none, sadly, on yaks.

Why would you worry about your rack squeaking!
