We had an interesting call yesterday. We got the call and rolled out not knowing what we were responding to. That's pretty standard. we usually don't get much information until we leave the base and contact the on scene unit over the radio. We heard it was a "post blast" which means the device has already gone off. When we arrived we learned that the bomb had gone off in a small room inside a house and that it went off while the guy was putting it together. The guy, or what was left of him, was still in the room when we got there. I'll spare everyone the pictures and the details but it was pretty interesting trying to work around all that "stuff".

Only got a few more days until I move up to Camp Victory. I heard that I'll be getting my own room up there so that's pretty cool.

We've got a bunch of animals running around the base here. The dogs keep their distance but a couple of the cats have become pretty comfortable around us. I caught them peeking into my room a couple of days ago.




Also, it was a pretty nice sunset yesterday. I climbed up on top of our truck to get a better view.



Hope everyone had a good Christmas. That's all for now,
