May 18th, 2011: Life in an environment like Kandahar is very interesting. One will get bored if there are no other things to look up to. I decided a long time ago to get the most out of this deployment. I accepted another assignment at Camp/FOB Pasab and will be heading that way in a few days. Also, there is an Afghan hospital just a little outside the wire (Camp Hero). I will be traveling there in a few days it will be a good opportunity to mentor Afghan dentist.
I am kind of looking forward to my new assignment at Camp Pasab. The living might be a little primitive as compared to KAF but it can't be so bad. I will be sharing Alaskan tents and running a Dental Clinic all by myself. The best thing is I will be earning my 3rd combat patch "10th Mountain Patch" Yehhhh.
Another negative is I wouldn't be able to chat with my beautiful wife as much as I do now. Oh by the way when she found out that I planned to go to that afghan hospital she freaked out and got mad at me. Dude, my love, if I don't plan to do these extra activities I will go nuts in this sand pit. Its been a little over month and a half and I feel that I have learnt so much in my profession and will continue to learn more and more.
Yesterday I treated a SM and he mentioned that other NCO's saw be working out in the gym with my PT's and my black bandana. They were not happy with my outfit and myself in general. This SM explained to them that I was within the Army standards. What I fail to understand is that some of these NCO's have nothing better do to than complain and I am actually working very hard to make soldiers happy.
I dont really have anything else...........will write more soon
